Can you outline the company’s recent achievements and its contributions to Oman’s thriving energy landscape?

Voltamp Energy has over 35 years’ experience in Oman’s energy sector as a power product and solution Manufacturer. Transformers and switchgears are key components in the energy industry, and our vision has been to localize transformer technology in Oman, bridging the technological gap. This led us to develop innovative products such as 220kV transformers, 400kV transformers, inverted duty transformers, and specialized transformers for renewable energy projects. Notably, we were the pioneers in supplying power transformer solutions for Oman’s first solar power plant and Saudi Arabia’s largest single-contracted renewable energy facility. These products were previously unavailable in the GCC region and introduction of these products has brought Voltamp to the Niche market. With the introduction of the 400kV transformer, we propelled Oman into the ranks of the 31 countries worldwide with this advanced technology. We take pride in this achievement, considering the complexity and size of these transformers. Moving forward, we are strategically developing products crucial for the evolving energy landscape in Oman and the wider region. Hydrogen generation projects are on the rise, necessitating specialized transformers.

How would you assess Voltamp Energy’s significance in Oman’s domestic industrial production, its production capacity, and the extent to which it positions Oman as a leading manufacturer of power transformers?

Oman holds a prominent position as the leading power transformer manufacturer within the GCC. We are actively expanding our capacities and product offerings, with two new products scheduled for launch in 2024. This expansion positions us to meet the growing demands in the GCC region effectively. In addition to serving Oman’s needs, we are closely collaborating with the GCC interconnection system to identify and fulfill their specific product requirements.
