Oman's Haya Water signs agreement to produce solar power

The agreement was signed by Eng Hussain bin Hassan AbdulHussain, CEO of Haya Water, and Eng Muhammed bin Khamis al Nomani, executive manager at Scan Electromechanical Company at Bait Haya.

Eng AbdulHussain said, “The project is considered to be the first experience of this kind executed by Haya Water in Quriyat STP and is expected to produce Solar Power of 100KWP daily. Currently, the above mentioned STP is operated by electricity power.

“The shift to solar power will reduce the huge operational costs resulting from electricity consumption.”

Eng AbdulHussain confirmed that after the success of this experiment, Haya Water plans to apply the same technology at other STPs in the future.

It is worth pointing out that Haya Water continues its support to small and medium enterprises and this project is a solid example because it is awarded to an SME.

He added that Haya Water is undergoing many studies and much research in the field of saving power and improving various operations in order to reduce operational costs and financial dependence on the government.

Eng Nomani said that they are proud of the trust given by Haya Water, which is considered one of the leading companies in the field of environment.

This project is an excellent step towards reducing the electricity expenditure.

Furthermore, it is hoped that other companies would imitate this initiative and focus on producing and using the solar power rather than fully relying on electricity power.

This is because this technique has a better financial and environmental impact.
