Chinese contractor wins two Duqm power project packages - Oman Observer

A Chinese contractor has secured two significant packages for the Duqm power project in Oman, underscoring the increasing footprint of Chinese firms in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) construction and infrastructure markets. This award is particularly noteworthy as Duqm is a cornerstone of Oman's economic diversification strategy, with substantial investments in port, industrial, and logistics infrastructure. The development of robust power infrastructure is critical to support the burgeoning industrial activities and future growth within the Duqm Special Economic Zone. The involvement of a Chinese contractor often signals competitive bidding and efficient project delivery, aligning with GCC nations' objectives to accelerate development while managing costs. This contract reflects Oman's continued commitment to enhancing its energy capacity and its strategic partnerships with international players, particularly those from China, which are actively expanding their presence across the region's energy and infrastructure sectors.
