Power from the Sun
Ibri Solar Plant
Oman’s largest solar farm, Ibri 2 Solar Power Plant, is located in the desert near Ibri in Adh-Dhahirah region. Completed in 2022 by a group of companies from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other Gulf states, the plant consists of 1.4 million solar panels and covers an area of 13 million square meters. The project is expected to power 33,000 homes, and remove 340,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions from the country’s footprint annually. The project is also part of the Sultanate’s efforts to diversify its sources of energy, which are primarily derived from fossil-fuel products such as oil and natural gas.
His brightness is like the sunlight; He has bright rays flashing from His hand, And there in the sunlike splendor is the hiding place of His power. (Habakkuk 3:4)
In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power at midday. (Revelation 1:16)
