In a significant move to advance renewable energy in the Middle East, United Solar Polysilicon has entered into a partnership with OQ Alternative Energy, a prominent renewable energy developer based in Oman.
The collaboration will focus on the co-development of a 700-megawatt (MW) photovoltaic (PV) power plant, marking a major step toward achieving Oman’s national clean energy objectives.
The planned solar facility is poised to become one of the largest in the region and will play a vital role in supporting Oman’s long-term strategy to diversify its energy mix and reduce dependency on conventional, fossil-based sources.
By leveraging solar energy — one of the region’s most abundant natural resources — the project aims to significantly contribute to sustainable electricity generation while reducing the environmental footprint associated with traditional energy sources.
According to United Solar Polysilicon’s Founder and Chairman, Longgen Zhang, the initiative aligns with a broader vision of accelerating the transition to clean and renewable energy across the region.
He emphasized that the partnership represents a powerful synergy between the two companies, combining technological innovation with strong regional expertise.

“This partnership embodies our shared vision to harness the region’s abundant solar resources and accelerate the transition to clean, renewable energy,” Zhang said.
“We are excited to partner with OQ Alternative Energy on a project that not only supports Oman’s energy goals but also demonstrates the transformative power of sustainable energy generation across the Middle East.”
Echoing this sentiment, Najla Al Jamali, CEO of OQ Alternative Energy, highlighted the strategic importance of the collaboration and its potential to serve as a model for future renewable energy projects in the region.
“Collaborating with United Solar Polysilicon allows us to leverage our combined expertise in renewable energy development.
This project is expected to contribute significantly to Oman’s clean energy landscape and set a benchmark for future initiatives in the region,” she stated.
The partnership is also closely aligned with ongoing efforts across the Gulf region to build more resilient and sustainable energy systems.
By merging United Solar’s strength in polysilicon production with OQ’s renewable energy development capabilities, the project is expected to not only boost local energy production capacity but also deliver long-term environmental and economic benefits.
Once operational, the 700 MW solar power plant will stand as a testament to the region’s commitment to cleaner energy and a more sustainable future.
