MUSCAT: Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) through its subsidiary, Sembcorp Salalah Power & Water Company SAOG (SSPWC), has been awarded a new 10-year Power and Water Purchase Agreement (PWPA) from Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (Nama PWP). The new agreement will commence from April 4, 2027, following the expiry of the current 15-year PWPA on April 3, 2027.
