A consortium led by French-based energy giant GDF Suez has won a government contract to build two 744MW gas-fired power projects at a combined estimated cost of OR700m ($1.8bn) in Oman, the Oman Daily Observer has reported. The new projects, which are known as Barka III and Sohar II, are scheduled to be fully commissioned by 2013, although around 800MW of power will be available by 2012.
