en.Wedoany.com Reported - Oman-based Naqaa Sustainable Energy has been appointed as the lead developer for a 500MW solar PV plant in Botswana, responsible for designing, financing, constructing, and operating the country's largest solar project to date.

According to Botswana's Ministry of Minerals and Energy, the project will be built near Maun town in the north and will be equipped with battery energy storage units. Details have not been disclosed, but the project stems from an agreement signed between Oman and Botswana at the end of last year, aiming to develop solar, wind, and energy storage projects with a total capacity of up to 3GW.

A key signatory to the agreement is O-Green, a clean energy company backed by Oman's sovereign wealth fund, established in 2025 to lead projects domestically and internationally. O-Green owns Naqaa Sustainable Energy, authorizing it to deliver a gigawatt-scale renewable energy portfolio in Oman, the Gulf region, and Africa.

Botswana's President Duma Gideon Boko visited Oman on April 13 to sign bilateral cooperation agreements covering areas such as solar energy. Botswana is actively attracting international investment, with India's KP Group recently signing a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on developing 5GW of renewable energy projects.
