Implementation of the direct Gulf electrical interconnection project with the Sultanate of Oman begins
RIYADH: The Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Authority has announced the commencement of implementing the direct interconnection project between its system and the Sultanate of Oman's network, marking a strategic step that reflects the evolution of Gulf integration pathways in the energy sector and the strengthening of regional infrastructure.
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals and Chairman of the Board of the Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Authority, Mohsen Al-Hadhrami, confirmed that the direct electrical interconnection project with the Sultanate is not merely a technical expansion of an electricity network, but rather represents an extension of a long-term strategic vision laid down by Their Majesties and Highnesses, the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
He noted that this vision was approved when the Gulf electrical interconnection project was adopted as one of the pillars of Gulf integration in infrastructure, stemming from the leaders’ belief that energy security constitutes a fundamental pillar for the stability of states, the growth of their economies, and the sustainability of their development.
