Oman's O-Green Targets 200MW of AI-Ready Data Center Capacity by 2028 Across Oman and Europe

O-Green, a state-backed renewable energy company in Oman, is developing AI-ready data centers across the sultanate as well as Spain and other European markets, with a target of bringing more than 200MW of capacity into service by 2028, the company announced on LinkedIn.

The initiative underscores the growing convergence of renewable energy development and digital infrastructure in the Gulf region, as countries under long-term economic diversification plans seek to attract hyperscale and AI workloads by leveraging low-cost clean power. For Oman, which has been steadily building out its digital economy under its Vision 2040 strategy, the move represents a significant step toward becoming a regional technology hub.

Founded last year to accelerate the energy transition and build an integrated clean energy platform, O-Green counts state-owned Naqaa Sustainable Energy and OQ Alternative Energy among its shareholders. The company 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.

The company's renewable energy pipeline provides the foundation for its data center ambitions. O-Green Power's project portfolio spans 12 countries and exceeds 11GW, with a secured portfolio topping 3.3GW of wind and solar capacity plus more than 2.3GWh of battery energy storage systems in Oman and Botswana. The firm has also 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.

Oman is rapidly emerging as 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. According to DataCenterMap, Oman currently has 15 data centers, including two operated by global digital infrastructure company Equinix in Muscat and Salalah.

The combination of abundant renewable energy resources and strategic geographic positioning between Europe, Asia and Africa gives Oman a compelling proposition for data center operators seeking to reduce both carbon footprints and operating costs. O-Green's dual-market approach, targeting both domestic and European deployments, signals confidence that renewable-powered data centers can compete on cost and scalability in the global AI infrastructure race.
