Al-Duqum Independent Water and Power Project is a 1,200 MW coal power station in Al Wusta, Oman. It is operated by Nama Power and Water Procurement Company SAOC [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1.5 million homes (estimated). It ranks #4 of 32 Oman power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2024, it is around 2 years old — recently built. In context, coal supplies about 0.0% of Oman's electricity; the national grid averages 544 gCO₂/kWh (4.5% low-carbon) (2025).

Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 19.7°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
