Chinese company Arctech, specialised in solar tracking systems and photovoltaic mounting structures, has signed a strategic agreement with Indian firm ACME Cleantech Solutions Pvt. Ltd. to supply 175 MWp of solar trackers for a green ammonia production project in Duqm, southeastern Oman.

Deployment scheduled from July 2025

Deliveries will begin in phases starting July 2025. The equipment includes the Skyline II single-axis tracker system, designed to withstand harsh environments. The Duqm region features coastal desert conditions, including wind speeds up to 55 m/s, C5-level corrosion exposure and extreme temperatures. The area benefits from an average annual solar radiation of around 5,764 kWh/m², making it a strategic location for large-scale photovoltaic projects.

The supported facility will produce 300 metric tonnes per day (MTPD) of green ammonia, considered one of the first sites in the Gulf region to integrate solar energy into hydrogen production at scale. ACME Cleantech, an Indian company active in the renewable energy sector, leads the initiative in partnership with international technical stakeholders.

Duqm, a strategic energy hub

This operation forms part of the Sultanate’s broader energy ambitions. The Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP), responsible for national energy supply, has already initiated several projects in Duqm, including a Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) facility. The government aims to derive 35–39% of electricity generation from renewables by 2040.

The green ammonia project marks an industrial milestone for the country, targeting energy diversification while expanding infrastructure in a strategic southeastern port. Arctech is thereby strengthening its regional presence and continuing its involvement in gigawatt-scale projects globally.

“We are confident that Arctech’s tracking solutions will meet the challenging site conditions and contribute to the energy efficiency of our project,” said Vipin Aggarwal, Vice President of Procurement for Green Hydrogen and International Business at ACME Cleantech, in a statement dated May 30.
