A large-scale independent water and power project (IWPP) is being considered by Oman Power and Water Procurement Co at Sur, near the eastern tip of the Sultanate, Meed has reported. While specifications for the new project are still under negotiation, the Sur IWPP is likely to have a capacity in excess of 1,000MW of power. A request for proposals to build the facility may be issued in September or October 2010 if the plan is adopted.
