The certificate allows linking electricity ownership rights from the place of production to the place of consumption by issuing a certificate for each megawatt-hour produced from the power plant.
The registration with IREC paved the way to benefit from the first batch of renewable energy units, which exceeds 206,000 megawatt-hours and is sold to Petroleum Development Oman (PDO).
The registration of the units produced from the station has been completed in coordination with the Department of Climate Affairs at the Civil Aviation Authority
