Global GridOman's energy mix and electricity
🇴🇲 In 2025, Oman generated 52.8 TWh of electricity. Almost all of it, 92%, came from gas. In total, 4.6% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 96% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 544 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), above the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Oman the 110th cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.
Electricity demand was 52.8 TWh. Its electricity imports and exports were roughly in balance.
Since 2000, electricity generation has grown by 480%, from 9.11 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 0% to 4%. The biggest rise was in gas, from 83% to 92% of generation. The biggest fall was in oil and other fossil fuels, from 17% to 4%. Carbon intensity fell from 581 to 544 grams per kWh.

Total energy mix in 2024
Electricity is only part of the energy Oman uses: fuel for transport, heating and industry counts too. In 2024, Oman used 447 TWh of energy in all (primary energy). The largest source was gas at 71%, followed by oil (28%) and solar (1%). Fossil fuels made up 99% and low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) 1.1%.
- Gas 71%
- Oil 28%
- Solar 1%
- Coal 0.3%
- Wind 0.1%
| Source | Share of all energy |
|---|---|
| Gas | 71% |
| Oil | 28% |
| Solar | 1% |
| Coal | 0.3% |
| Wind | 0.1% |
Primary energy, with nuclear and renewable electricity counted as the fuel a power station would need to make it (the "substitution method"). Here "other renewables" is the Energy Institute's "geothermal, biomass and other" power generation, and biofuels are liquid fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel.

Energy security score
Moderate. Oman ranks 112th of 158 countries and 32nd of 46 in Asia. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy In 2024, Oman produced energy equal to 227% of all the energy it used (100% or more scores full marks). | 100 |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, gas, made 92%. | 17 |
| Little reliance on imported power Oman exported more electricity than it imported, so it scores full marks. | 100 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 4.6% of generation. | 5 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 96% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 5 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
Oil and gas pipelines
Global Energy Monitor lists 5,009 km of oil and gas pipelines operating in Oman, 177 km being built and 2,286 km proposed (lengths measured along the mapped routes; a pipeline crossing borders counts in full for each country). For liquefied natural gas (LNG), shipped by sea, it lists 4 export terminals operating (1 more being built or proposed).
