A new state-backed renewable energy company in Oman is developing AI-ready data centers across the sultanate, as well as Spain and other European markets.

O-Green is targeting more than 200MW to be ready for service by 2028, the company said on LinkedIn.

Founded last year to accelerate the energy transition and build an integrated “clean energy platform,” the firm’s shareholders include state-owned Naqaa Sustainable Energy and OQ Alternative Energy.

O-Green operates across three divisions: O-Green Power, which develops international green energy projects; O-Green Technologies, which manufactures wind turbines and advances green technology innovation; and O-Green Compute & Data Centers, which develops AI-ready, cloud and hyperscale data centers powered by low-cost renewable energy in Oman and Europe.

O-Green Power’s project portfolio spans 12 countries and exceeds 11GW. Its secured portfolio tops 3.3GW of wind and solar plus more than 2.3GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Oman and Botswana, the firm said.

The company has installed what is claimed to be the largest onshore wind turbine outside mainland China at Duqm, Oman. Located close to the major OQ8 refinery, the turbine stands as a “new landmark” of Oman’s Vision 2040, the sultanate’s long-term strategy to steer its economy away from oil by developing renewable energy sources.

Under the same national plan, Oman is rapidly becoming a regional digital hub, driven by state initiatives, submarine cable networks and strategic partnerships.

In May, Omani, Emirati and Italian companies signed an agreement to develop a 150MW hyperscale AI data center in the sultanate.

Last year, Oracle launched its second OCI Dedicated Region in the country.

Oman has 15 data centers, according to DataCenterMap, including two run by global digital infrastructure company Equinix in Muscat and Salalah.
