The installation, set to be completed by March 2018, will generate 40KWp. By end of 2018, the company aims to install solar panels in its four service stations.

Aside from harnessing renewable energy, Oman Oil has also implemented sustainable practices such as utilizing LED lights, air monitoring system for its refinery, and training for its staff on environmental sustainability.

“As a home-grown organization, it is our responsibility to support the Sultanate’s long-term renewable energy strategies and protect Oman’s environment. This pilot initiative holds great potential and promise as the photovoltaic solar panels will reduce the carbon emission from these stations,” said David Kalife, CEO at Oman Oil Marketing Company.
