Duqm Independent Water and power plant is a 326 MW gas power station in Al Wusta, Oman. It is operated by Jubail Water and Power Co [51%]; Gulf Development PCL [45%]; Oman Oil Facilities. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 367k homes (estimated). It ranks #17 of 32 Oman power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2021, it is around 5 years old — recently built. In context, gas supplies about 91.9% of Oman's electricity; the national grid averages 544 gCO₂/kWh (4.5% low-carbon) (2025).

At 326 MW, Duqm Independent Water and power plant is below the median gas plant in Oman (445 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG); Siemens Energy: SGT-800, Siemens Energy: SGT-800, Siemens En. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 19.5°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
