Net electricity production — which includes output purchased by the Oman Power and Water Procurement Company and the Rural Areas Electricity Company — also recorded solid growth.
The data showed that net production increased by 13.9 per cent to 3,132.6 GWh at the end of January 2026, up from 2,749.2 GWh in January 2025.
