With 1.5 billion kilowatt hours of clean energy per year, the project lowers CO₂ emissions by 780,000 tons and sets a new milestone for projects in the area of renewable energies in the Middle East that meet all legal requirements
The first solar power plant of Shanghai Electric (Sehk: 2727, SSE: 601727) in Oman, the 500 MW-Solar-PIP-PROJECT OMANAH-1 (the “Project”), has had a monthly run after all the exams and the final handover. The showcase project as part of the national blueprint for sustainable environment Oman Vision 2040 And clean energy will generate 1.5 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually and reduce CO₂ emissions by 780,000 tons per year, which corresponds to the loss of 170,000 petrol-powered cars on Oman’s roads.
Shanghai Electric delivered complete solutions for the project – from design and planning to procurement and construction to long -term operation and maintenance. With this integrated strategy, an efficient, sustainable energy system was created and the global innovation in solar technology was also promoted.
In order to master the political and technical challenges, Shanghai Electric received a partnership with the French EDF as part of a unique two -track agreement to meet the strict technical requirements of Oman. This approach could overcome conflicts between international norms and local regulations.
Thanks to the innovative project management, the construction was divided into 11 directly managed sections, which achieved a time saving of 22 percent. With an app for security reports in real time, 924 security risks were removed and four million accident -free working hours were achieved. The dynamic planning kept the utilization of large systems 90 percent. Thanks to the interdisciplinary training of employees, the mobility between the locations could be improved.
During the planning, a personnel strategy with competing teams and rolling inspections in 59 project zones was also chosen. The designers worked on site during the building of the substation and improved the efficiency of supervision by 30 %. At the same time, a 20-member team completed the wiring and terminal work in just 72 hours in order to accelerate the progress in installing the medium-voltage cables.
The highly efficient coordination set a new record in network connections. Simultaneous tests, day and night shifts as well as the cooperation between teams from China and Oman ensured a smooth process. The project team ended 59 zones in nine days – 21 days earlier than planned – with a 100 percent network success, without any damage to the facilities and without injuries among employees.
“Shanghai Electric’s solution has completely turned our idea of the necessary time to connect solar projects to the electricity network,” said Hamood Al Shuaili. “The team has proven unsurpassed specialist knowledge and teamwork. They are engineers from world class who set new global standards.”
Thanks to the Chinese high -voltage cable technology and the improved pile construction, the workload for the leveling of the site was reduced by 80 percent, which reduced the construction time by 60 days. An optimized supply chain and precise procurement planning guaranteed punctual delivery, whereby the total power of the systems exceeded the targets.
In addition, the project has boosted the regional job offer, improved energy security and created sustainable social added value. With a community -oriented approach, 90 percent of employees are in operation and maintenance, and the most important technical training programs have been integrated into the Oman’s vocational training system in order to build up skills for the future.
