Global Engineering consultancy Enertis has been appointed as the Owner’s Engineer for the 100MW Amin photovoltaic (PV) solar plant, touted to be the first of its kind project in Oman, located approximately 210 km North East of Thumrait, Oman.

Earlier in February this year, The Marubeni Consortium said that the scheduled commercial operation date is projected for May 2020.
