On the sidelines of the Advantage Oman Forum, organized by Invest in Oman, SOHAR Port and Freezone reinforced its growing reputation as a strategic hub for sustainable investment by signing a land lease agreement with JA Solar OM (FZC) SPC, one of the world’s top manufacturers and suppliers of high-efficiency solar cells and modules.
This agreement represents a major step toward enhancing Oman’s renewable energy infrastructure. Leveraging advanced technologies and significant production capacity, the facility will play a critical role in accelerating the country’s transition to clean energy and solidifying its position in the global sustainability landscape.
With a total investment of USD 565 million and covering an area of 32.5 hectares in the second phase of the Freezone, the project is set to deliver an annual production capacity of 6 gigawatts of solar cells and 3 gigawatts of solar modules. Operations are expected to commence in Q1 2026. The project will play a crucial role in advancing the clean energy transition and supporting the objectives of Oman Vision 2040 for sustainable development.
By creating synergies within an integrated framework of green manufacturing, logistics, and trade, SOHAR Freezone reaffirms its commitment to driving sustainable economic growth while positioning itself as a pivotal player in global trade. With 85% of Phase 1 fully leased, Phase 2 is actively expanding to accommodate further industrial needs across its 675 hectares of land. This milestone also serves as a testament to the trust and confidence in the freezone operations by investors and partners.
