Altaaqa Global installs 24MW plant in Oman

Altaaqa Global has successfully installed 24MWs of temporary power in the Sultanate of Oman. Taking only 4 days to complete, the power project was one of the fastest installations in the history of the equipment rental industry.

To meet electricity demands throughout the summer, the 24MW temporary rental power plant will supply power to the electricity grid at a time when there is a significant increase in the use of temperature control equipment, such as air conditioning and district cooling. Supporting the existing generating capacity of Oman, the interim power plant will ensure peak performance during the hottest months of the year.


Taking just 96 hours to install, Peter den Boogert, Altaaqa Global’s General Manager for Business Development, commented on the impressive speed of deployment. “This reaffirms Altaaqa Global’s ability to install commission and safely generate power within a matter of days.


The full turnkey solution offers a complete package of power generators, transformers; fuel tanks, distribution panels, electrical accessories, and 24/7 CAT certified power engineers who will manage the temporary power plant.”


“We are proud to deliver our temporary power solution to the people of Oman,” said Steven Meyrick, Managing Director of Altaaqa Global. “Our highly experienced rental power team coupled with Caterpillar’s power dense and fuel efficient rental diesel generators are the perfect combination to provide grid optimization and dependable supplementary power.”

Robert Bagatsing, Altaaqa Global’s Marketing Manager stated: “We can deliver multi-megawatt rental power projects to any part of the world, from 20MW to 200MW. Catering to a wide spectrum of sectors such as power utility, government services, mining, industrial manufacturing, oil & gas, petrochemicals and construction, Altaaqa Global provides large-scale turnkey power solutions anywhere, anytime.”
