O-Green Targets 200MW of AI Data Centres for Oman by 2028

Oman's push to power the AI economy just picked up a new player. O-Green, the Sultanate's state-backed clean energy platform, has announced it is targeting more than 200 megawatts (MW) of AI-ready data centre capacity in service by 2028, tying the country's renewable energy ambitions directly to the global race for AI compute.

📋 Key Takeaways

• O-Green, an affiliate of the Oman Investment Authority (OIA), is targeting over 200MW of AI-ready data centre capacity by 2028 across Oman, Spain and other markets, as Oman Observer reported on September 13, 2026.
• The plan piggybacks on O-Green's 2.7 gigawatt (GW) Continuous Renewable Energy Project spanning the wilayats of Duqm and Mahout, designed to deliver around 770MW of firm renewable power from solar, wind and battery storage.
• The company's overall development pipeline exceeds 11GW across 12 countries, with data centres and high-performance computing named as key downstream customers for that power.
• The strategy positions O-Green as a vertically integrated supplier, bundling land, renewable generation, storage and infrastructure into a single package for hyperscale and AI compute operators.
• It adds a new, distinct thread to Oman's data centre buildout, alongside the state's planned RO 106 million AI Special Economic Zone and separate international projects already eyeing the Sultanate.

⚡ What O-Green Announced

According to Oman Observer's report on September 13, 2026, O-Green is developing AI-ready data centre projects across Oman, Spain and other international markets, with a target of more than 200MW of capacity operational by 2028. The move, as the newspaper noted, positions data centres and high-performance computing as "a downstream extension" of O-Green's existing renewable power generation and energy storage business.

O-Green was established in 2025 as an affiliate of the Oman Investment Authority, the Sultanate's sovereign wealth fund. Its chairman, Abdulsalam bin Mohammed al Murshidi, who also chairs the OIA, first unveiled the platform publicly during an official visit to Botswana, according to an earlier Oman Observer report from December 8, 2025, which described the company's mission as building "an integrated clean-energy platform covering the full value chain" from project design through construction, operation and long-term maintenance. The platform brings together three specialised subsidiaries: Naqaa Sustainable Energy, which leads large-scale project development; Mawarid Green Technologies, which is building a wind-turbine manufacturing complex; and SolarWadi, which handles commercial and industrial solar and storage projects.

🏗️ The Oman Project Behind the Numbers

The centrepiece of O-Green's Oman-based capacity is the Continuous Renewable Energy Project, spanning the Al Wusta wilayats of Duqm and Mahout. Oman Observer reported the project's total capacity at 2.7GW, combining solar photovoltaic generation, wind power and battery energy storage systems (BESS) to deliver approximately 770MW of firm, round-the-clock renewable electricity. Data centres and other energy-intensive advanced-computing industries are named among the project's identified beneficiaries.

O-Green already has an operational footprint in the same area. The company's Duqm North and South Wind Project, a 58MW pilot using six large turbines inside the Duqm Special Economic Zone, was reported by Technical Review Middle East on June 4, 2026 to be expected to generate roughly 190 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity a year, initially feeding a wind-turbine manufacturing plant that O-Green is building in Duqm using technology licensed from Shanghai Electric Group. That existing generation and grid infrastructure gives the company a running start toward powering compute facilities in the same corridor.

🔌 Why Energy Companies Are Chasing AI Compute

O-Green's pivot reflects a broader shift playing out across the global data centre industry: securing enough reliable, increasingly low-carbon electricity has become one of the biggest bottlenecks to scaling AI infrastructure. Rather than simply selling power to third-party data centre operators, O-Green's stated business model is to bundle renewable generation, storage, land access and infrastructure into an integrated clean-energy-plus-compute offering, aiming to capture more value from its 11GW-plus development pipeline across a dozen countries.

That approach mirrors, and adds to, other efforts to establish Oman as a serious contender for AI infrastructure investment. Oman's overall data centre market is projected to keep growing sharply, as detailed in an earlier AI in Oman analysis of the Sultanate's $492 million data centre market outlook. O-Green's announcement gives that broader ambition a concrete, homegrown industrial anchor, tying AI infrastructure directly to Oman's renewable energy build-out rather than to imported capital or foreign operators alone.

🇴🇲 Why This Matters for Oman

If O-Green delivers on its 200MW target, Oman gains a second, distinctly domestic pathway into the AI infrastructure race, one built on sovereign capital, state-owned renewable assets and in-country value creation rather than solely on foreign investment or free-zone incentives. Pairing AI-ready compute with firm renewable power in Duqm and Mahout also gives the Sultanate an environmental and cost argument to make to hyperscale and AI operators looking for cleaner alternatives to power-constrained hubs elsewhere in the Gulf. For now, the figures remain a stated target rather than a signed data centre deal, so the real test will be how quickly O-Green converts its renewable megawatts and land holdings into contracted compute capacity between now and 2028.
