Goldwind recently signed its first wind power project in Oman - the Riyah 1&2 Wind Power Project. Jointly developed by Oman's national energy company OQ Alternative Energy (OQAE) and French energy giant TotalEnergies, the project has a total installed capacity of 234MW, making it the largest wind power project in Oman to date. It is also OQAE's first decarbonization initiative targeting the traditional petrochemical sector and will supply green power to Petroleum Development Oman (PDO). Goldwind will supply highly reliable and environmentally adaptive wind turbines for the project, supporting Oman in taking a significant step toward transforming its energy structure. 

As a highly energy-intensive sector, the oil and gas industry has long been a major source of carbon emissions. According to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the industry's entire value chain, from extraction and transportation to storage and end use, generates substantial amounts of carbon emissions, accounting for over 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This highlights the enormous potential for decarbonization and green transformation within the sector.

Established in 1937, PDO is the largest oil and gas company in Oman, operating across a concession area of 90,000 square kilometers, approximately one-third of the country's total land area. The company manages around 200 oil fields, 55 gas fields, and 9,000 active wells. As one of the leading oil and gas enterprises globally, PDO has a strong demand for green transformation, making the signing of the Riyah 1&2 Wind Power Project particularly timely.

The Riyah 1&2 project is located in the PDO concession area in southern Oman, with sites in the Amin and Nimr West regions, near the border between Dhofar and Al Wusta Governorates. This area features excellent wind resources, stable wind speeds, and a hot, arid climate with minimal rainfall, making it one of the most promising renewable energy corridors in the Middle East. As a key component of "Oman Vision 2040" and the country's "2050 Net-Zero Emissions Target", the implementation of the Riyah 1&2 project will significantly increase Oman's total installed wind power capacity. Once operational, the project is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 740,000 tons annually and conserve a substantial amount of natural gas, playing a positive role in promoting energy diversification and sustainable economic development in Oman. This is the first wind power project in Oman where an oil and gas company serves as the sole power purchaser, reflecting the strong commitment of the country's energy enterprises to the energy transition. It is expected to serve as a model for future project investments and policy development.

This collaboration, jointly established by Goldwind, PDO, OQAE, TotalEnergies, and PowerChina Huadong Engineering Co., Ltd., serves as a model of international multilateral cooperation driving the global energy transition. As the provider of energy device and services, Goldwind will leverage its international project experience across six continents and 47 countries to supply high-quality products for the project. The company will actively develop a localized O&M service system to ensure efficient project delivery and stable operation, generating sustained and reliable value for customers, and setting a new green benchmark in the Middle East.

Centuries ago, the Maritime Silk Road forged a cross-ocean bond between China and Oman. Today, Chinese wind power enterprises are following that historic route to deliver green energy to the region. Goldwind will remain committed to its development strategy of openness, mutual benefit, and green, low-carbon growth. The company will continue to collaborate with global partners to actively contribute to the global energy transition, with a strong focus on the integrated development of renewable and conventional energy sources. By unlocking new momentum through multi-energy synergy, Goldwind strives to support global efforts in combating climate change and building a sustainable future for all.
