MUSCAT — Oman’s Authority for Public Services Regulation (APSR) has announced a reduction in electricity tariffs for residential users, alongside measures to prevent service disconnections and introduce flexible payment plans during the peak summer months.
In a statement carried by Oman News Agency on May 3, the authority said the move aims to mitigate the impact of increased electricity consumption driven by rising temperatures.
The measures will be implemented from May through August 2026, a period typically marked by high energy demand due to extreme heat.
