A crucial project in the design phase is the North-South Interconnector Phase-2, which will extend the transmission system from Duqm Industrial to Dhofar 400/132kV Grid station along with Shaleem grid station and with Phase 1, will form the Oman National Grid.

The five-year statement lists a total of 41 transmission projects in various stages of implementation from 2024 to 2028 within the Main Interconnected System (MIS) and Dhofar System (DTS). Most of the projects are designed to increase the transmission system capacity to meet the future growth in demand, connect new generation and rural areas, and meet the Transmission Security Standard.
