The Imtidad program, launched this week by the Authority for Public Services Regulation (APSR) in partnership with licensed electricity companies and Nama Group, allows households and businesses to benefit from solar energy without installing panels on their own properties. Subscribers can purchase shares in community solar plants connected to the national grid and receive electricity bill credits based on their participation. The program is supported by Engineer Salim bin Nasser al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals.

Nasr al Nasseri, Business Development Officer at Nafath, stated that consumers can purchase a 10-kilowatt share, and the electricity generated and fed into Nama Group's grid will be credited to their accounts, even if they are hundreds of kilometers away from the project. He said the model targets customers who lack suitable space on their homes or properties to install their own systems.

Founded in 2013 by Engineers Abdullah al Saidi, Musab al Farsi, and Nasser al Jabri, Nafath designs, builds, and maintains solar power systems for government and private sector clients. Al Nasseri noted that the company has completed work for the Oman Investment Authority, ahliBank, Muscat Municipality, and other government entities.

He said Nafath handles projects from start to finish, beginning with a comprehensive feasibility study, followed by design, execution, commissioning, and maintenance. Each installation is connected to a monitoring system that tracks daily, monthly, and annual power generation, allowing clients to view real-time performance data. Al Nasseri stated that the company does not simply hand over the project after it becomes operational but remains in contact with clients to continue monitoring system efficiency. He described customer satisfaction as central to the company's approach and noted that its track record is a competitive advantage.
