Oman: Credible energy transition hinges on regulatory agility, MEM official
MUSCAT: The complexity of policy frameworks—not technology or ambition—is the real bottleneck in accelerating renewable energy deployment, said Dr Firas al Abduwani, Director General of Renewable Energy and Hydrogen at the Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM), during a high-level panel at the Oman Petroleum & Energy Show (OPES) on Tuesday. Speaking during the 'Innovation in New Energies to Enable the Transition' session hosted by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), Dr Al Abduwani emphasised that policymaking—often criticised as slow or outdated—is far more nuanced than commonly assumed. 'Everyone says, 'Why aren't we doing more renewables?' and the answer is always 'the policy'. But very few understand how deeply layered and technically complex these policies are,' he said. 'It's not just about ambition. It's about designing policies that reflect economic realities, legacy infrastructure, and affordability for consumers and industry.' HIDDEN COSTS, REAL CONSTRAINTS Dr Al Abduwani explained that legacy energy systems—particularly natural gas—are heavily subsidised and socially embedded in Oman's industrial model, which makes sudden shifts toward renewables politically and economically risky. 'Gas in Oman is not treated purely as a commodity—it's socialised,' he said. 'It underpins electricity prices, industrial feedstock, and household consumption. Reforming that structure is like changing the wheels of a moving car.' He estimated that Oman continues to spend over a billion dollars annually in subsidies, underscoring how embedded fossil fuels remain in the nation's economic architecture. A CALL FOR AGILE, ADAPTIVE POLICY To enable a credible energy transition, Dr Al Abduwani called for more agile regulatory systems—where electricity generation, storage, and distribution are interconnected with real-time pricing and dynamic access across the grid. 'A modern energy policy must give generators and consumers the flexibility to interact with the grid dynamically. If you want renewables to compete fairly, you need to unbundle and de-subsidise the system with surgical precision,' he said. He pointed to international examples—such as Germany's multi-decade subsidy transition and market restructuring—as models worth studying, though not necessarily copying outright. 'Oman must chart its own path, but we can learn from how others sequence the shift—Germany, for instance, gave industries 10 years to adapt to new rules.' TRANSITION WITHOUT DISRUPTION Acknowledging that energy transitions risk social backlash if done poorly, Dr Al-Abduwani called for a holistic approach: engaging regulators, consumers, industries, and financiers in synchronised reform. 'You can't expect households and businesses to absorb cost shocks overnight. Transition must be just, data-driven, and inclusive,' he said. 'And that's why policy is hard. It's not just about writing laws—it's about managing trade-offs between security, affordability, and sustainability.' The OPES panel, which attracted government officials, private sector executives, and global energy experts, was part of broader discussions around Oman's clean energy roadmap under Vision 2040, particularly its green hydrogen ambitions and renewable capacity targets. 2022 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Oman: Energy shift must reflect local realities, experts warn
MUSCAT: Global energy experts convening at the Oman Petroleum & Energy Show (OPES) have urged governments and industry leaders to adopt more realistic, inclusive, and economically grounded strategies to drive the clean energy transition. During a high-level session titled 'Innovation in New Energies to Enable the Transition', speakers highlighted the urgent need for regulatory clarity, social engagement, and investment frameworks that reflect on-the-ground realities in the Middle East and beyond. Organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), the panel brought together senior voices from Oman's Ministry of Energy and Minerals, OQ, SLB, Olayan Saudi Holding Company, and Petronas. Dr Firas al Abduwani, Director General of Renewable Energy and Hydrogen at the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, opened the discussion by emphasising that the real challenge lies not in technology, but in crafting effective policy. 'Everyone talks about the need for more renewables, but few appreciate the complexity of policymaking. It's not just about ambition—it's about designing policies that reflect economic and social realities,' he said. He explained that Oman's natural gas, partly subsidised and socially priced, plays a vital role in electricity generation, desalination, and industrial production. Transitioning from this foundation requires careful sequencing and institutional alignment. Dr Talal al Aulaqi, Vice President of Energy Excellence at OQ Alternative Energy, warned that while policies are accelerating, social behaviour has yet to catch up. 'Every summer, we see power demand spike. That tells us people still expect reliability from fossil systems,' he said. 'We must ensure the transition is inclusive and that citizens have a role in shaping it.' He called for demand-side engagement tools, such as distributed solar, energy efficiency incentives, and education campaigns to bridge the gap between national strategy and public expectations. Salih Merghani, Executive Vice President for Energy at Olayan Saudi Holding Company, said the clean energy transition cannot advance without clear, long-term market signals. 'We've seen successful pilot projects in carbon capture and green industrial solutions, but they won't scale without demand certainty and regulatory support,' he said. He noted that the absence of carbon pricing in many regional markets is limiting the ability of private capital to move decisively into low-carbon investments. Guillaume Verhaeghe, Director of New Energy MENA at SLB, called for leveraging decades of oil and gas expertise to fast-track carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). 'The region has the technical capability. Now we need permitting reforms, financial incentives, and cross-sector partnerships to deliver CCUS at scale,' he said. He added that reusing existing infrastructure for new energy applications could reduce transition costs and create regional leadership in climate technologies. Emry Hisham Yusoff, Senior General Manager of Carbon Management at Petronas, said Southeast Asia is moving cautiously—balancing environmental goals with economic development. 'Yes, we're expanding CCUS and renewables, but gas remains crucial for energy access,' he said. 'To scale climate solutions, we need public-private coordination and government-backed incentives.' He highlighted the role of frameworks like the US Inflation Reduction Act as models for de-risking early investment in carbon management. Across the panel, speakers emphasised that energy transition is not merely about new technologies—it is a systemic transformation that requires public acceptance, economic restructuring, and policy coordination. As Oman moves forward under Vision 2040, the session reinforced the Sultanate of Oman's position as a regional innovator in green hydrogen and low-carbon energy—but also underscored that successful transitions must be gradual, inclusive, and grounded in national context.
