Wel<strong>com</strong>e <strong>to</strong> the Oman Power & Water Summit<br />

Dear Colleague,<br />

As Oman’s <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> requirements continue <strong>to</strong> rise every year, the government is<br />

implementing a variety of measures <strong>to</strong> meet the dem<strong>and</strong> of industry <strong>and</strong> the country’s<br />

growing population.<br />

In addition <strong>to</strong> increasing investment in generation capacity, upgrades <strong>and</strong> technological<br />

improvements are also necessary <strong>to</strong> maximise the efficiency of <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> transmission<br />

<strong>and</strong> distribution. <strong>The</strong> government’s decision <strong>to</strong> move away from publicly-owned generation <strong>and</strong><br />

transmission systems has resulted in a host of opportunities for the private sec<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> contribute<br />

<strong>to</strong> the expansion of the Sultanate’s utilities industry for years <strong>to</strong> <strong>com</strong>e.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Oman Power & Water Summit will bring <strong>to</strong>gether senior representatives from ministries <strong>and</strong><br />

public authorities, <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> generation, transmission <strong>and</strong> distribution <strong>com</strong>panies,<br />

renewable energy specialists, international <strong>and</strong> local contrac<strong>to</strong>rs, developers, consultants<br />

<strong>and</strong> suppliers <strong>to</strong> discuss a variety of <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> related issues; from strategic planning <strong>and</strong><br />

priorities in securing <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> supplies for the future <strong>to</strong> the construction <strong>and</strong> upgrade of<br />

efficient <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> networks.<br />

This four-day summit will serve as a unique <strong>and</strong> timely forum for discussing the latest<br />

developments in the industry, including the range of projects now under construction or set<br />

<strong>to</strong> be implemented soon. Participants will benefit from high-level keynote presentations,<br />

interactive panel sessions <strong>and</strong> case studies, as well as a full-day workshop on asset<br />

management best practice <strong>and</strong> a focus day <strong>dedicated</strong> <strong>to</strong> renewable energy as a possible<br />

solution <strong>to</strong> the nation’s growing energy needs.<br />

Benefits of attending the Oman Power & Water Summit<br />

• Review <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> dem<strong>and</strong> forecast <strong>and</strong> up<strong>com</strong>ing projects<br />

• Explore opportunities for future investment in Oman’s <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> sec<strong>to</strong>r<br />

• Assess <strong>power</strong> generation <strong>and</strong> desalination resources required <strong>to</strong> meet fast-growing<br />

WHY OMAN?<br />

<strong>The</strong> Omani government is engaged in an ambitious programme <strong>to</strong> cater for a fast-growing<br />

utilities dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> is encouraging the private sec<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> contribute <strong>to</strong>wards the estimated<br />

$7.8bn worth of investment needed <strong>to</strong> bolster the nation’s <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> systems.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Oman Power & Water Summit is the perfect opportunity <strong>to</strong> evaluate the government’s<br />

strategy <strong>and</strong> discuss with key industry representatives the future of Oman’s <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>water</strong> sec<strong>to</strong>r.<br />

Essential interactive workshop: Wednesday 25 May 2011<br />

<strong>IQPC</strong>’s workshops are unique opportunities <strong>to</strong> spend valuable time with industry experts. This interactive session is extended <strong>to</strong> ensure that you will get <strong>to</strong> the heart of the conference’s<br />

most critical issues <strong>and</strong> uncover practical solutions you can apply in your own <strong>com</strong>pany. Attendees must select one full day workshop when registering for the Summit.<br />

Workshop A: Asset management capability assessment <strong>and</strong> roadmap for implementation<br />

Whilst the Omani government is investing in the development of the country’s <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> systems,<br />

improving the operational efficiency of existing <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> networks is a key requirement <strong>to</strong> meet the<br />

growing dem<strong>and</strong> for all utilities. Implementing an efficient asset management strategy from the early stages<br />

of infrastructure development will have a significant positive impact on operational <strong>and</strong> financial performance,<br />

as well as on system reliability, long-term sustainability <strong>and</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mer service levels.<br />

Benchmarking your organisation against international best practices in asset management is a quick <strong>and</strong><br />

relatively easy task, <strong>and</strong> results in a detailed road map for change <strong>to</strong>wards best practice.<br />

Benefits of attending:<br />

By attending this workshop, you will learn about effective strategies <strong>to</strong> maintain your assets in a fit-for-service<br />

condition, while also extending their life-cycle in the most reliable, safe <strong>and</strong> cost-effective manner. During this<br />

interactive session, challenges, innovative solutions <strong>and</strong> best practices will be discussed. <strong>The</strong> workshop will<br />

examine the real benefits that asset management has brought <strong>to</strong> organisations worldwide.<br />

During the workshop, attendees will undertake a mini asset management benchmarking exercise for their<br />

<strong>com</strong>panies, which will broadly assess their <strong>com</strong>petency level as measured against the key fundamental<br />

building blocks of best practice asset management. Attendees will then discuss the preferred approach for<br />

organisations <strong>to</strong> undertake a full asset management review, <strong>and</strong> typical road maps for change, including time<br />

<strong>and</strong> resource management.<br />

Attendees will receive a reference booklet on asset management development aimed <strong>to</strong> assist their<br />

organisations in greater asset management awareness, in underst<strong>and</strong>ing the key building blocks of asset<br />

management, <strong>and</strong> advice <strong>and</strong> guidance on the way <strong>to</strong> approach their development strategy.<br />

Who should attend the workshop:<br />

• Government officials involved in <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> projects<br />

• Infrastructure, asset management, operation, maintenance, technical <strong>and</strong> project managers from<br />

<strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> <strong>com</strong>panies<br />

Workshop B: <strong>The</strong> scope for further liberalisation of Oman’s electricity <strong>and</strong> related <strong>water</strong><br />

sec<strong>to</strong>r <strong>and</strong> development of the IPP/IWPP models in GCC electricity markets<br />

Since the market restructuring in 2005, the electricity <strong>and</strong> related <strong>water</strong> sec<strong>to</strong>r in Oman has benefited from<br />

public <strong>and</strong> private sec<strong>to</strong>r investment with significant levels of foreign direct investment in <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong><br />

production facilities. <strong>The</strong> law has made it a legal requirement for all future <strong>power</strong>-generation developments <strong>to</strong><br />

be carried out by Independent (Water) <strong>and</strong> Power Producers (I(W)PPs). <strong>The</strong> government’s decision <strong>to</strong> move<br />

away from a publicly owned vertically integrated self regulated market structure provides considerable<br />

opportunities for the private sec<strong>to</strong>r <strong>to</strong> contribute <strong>to</strong> the further development <strong>and</strong> expansion of Oman’s<br />

electricity sec<strong>to</strong>r for years <strong>to</strong> <strong>com</strong>e.<br />

<strong>The</strong> privatisation of <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> facilities remains a work in progress with a mixture of publicly owned<br />

<strong>and</strong> private <strong>com</strong>panies operating under licenses granted by the industry regula<strong>to</strong>r. <strong>The</strong> Sec<strong>to</strong>r Law that<br />

established the new electricity <strong>and</strong> related <strong>water</strong> sec<strong>to</strong>r market structure in 2005 includes provisions <strong>to</strong><br />

facilitate further market liberalisation, including a liberalisation measure that would permit IPP/IWPPs <strong>to</strong> sell<br />

capacity <strong>and</strong> output <strong>to</strong> persons other than the Oman Power <strong>and</strong> Water Procurement Company. This has<br />

important implications for the IPP/IWPP market in Oman <strong>and</strong> the Authority for Electricity Regulation, as<br />

industry regula<strong>to</strong>r is required <strong>to</strong> assess if the electricity sec<strong>to</strong>r is ready for further liberalisation <strong>and</strong> present<br />

its re<strong>com</strong>mendations <strong>to</strong> the Council of Ministers in its Annual Report. <strong>The</strong> Authority has so far determined<br />

that the market is not yet ready for further liberalisation.<br />

Benefits of attending:<br />

<strong>The</strong> workshop will consider the scope for further market liberalisation, when Oman might be ready <strong>to</strong> allow<br />

IPP/IWPP <strong>to</strong> sell capacity <strong>and</strong> output <strong>to</strong> persons other than the Oman Power <strong>and</strong> Water Procurement<br />

Company, whether it would be beneficial <strong>to</strong> do so, <strong>and</strong> the general development of the IPP/IWPP model in<br />

GCC markets. Oman’s vital <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> sec<strong>to</strong>r is entering a new phase in its aggressive development<br />

marked by investments in world-class greenfield <strong>power</strong> generation projects. During this interactive session,<br />

the implications <strong>and</strong> opportunities of further liberalisation for the IPP/IWPP market in Oman will be discussed.<br />

This workshop will also provide you with the key requirements for successful development of <strong>power</strong><br />

generation <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> desalination capacity.<br />

Who should attend the workshop:<br />

• Government officials involved in <strong>power</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> projects<br />

• Power <strong>and</strong> <strong>water</strong> project developers, consultants <strong>and</strong> contrac<strong>to</strong>rs<br />

• Financial institutions <strong>and</strong> IWPP/IPP inves<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
