GameChange Solar to supply 450MWp solar trackers for green hydrogen project in Oman
US-based solar tracker manufacturer GameChange Solar announced on Wednesday that it has signed an agreement with ACME Greentech Ventures to supply its Genius Tracker 1P Single Row system for a 450 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar PV power plant in Duqm, Oman.
The plant will provide clean power to ACME's upcoming green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in Duqm, which is being developed in phases over a 92-square-kilometre site, according to a GameChange Solar press statement.
Phase 1 of the project, currently under construction, is expected to produce 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually.
Future phases aim to generate 71,000 tonnes of green hydrogen and 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year, with full development targeting a total output of 0.9 million tonnes of green ammonia annually.
The tracker deal follows a similar agreement ACME signed last month with Chinese firm Arctech to supply trackers for a 175MWp solar PV project.

Fans get a say in the AED 1M donation In a bold move that's turning heads, Huda is crowdsourcing the cause. She invited her followers to drop suggestions in the comments, turning her feed into a heartwarming stream of charity recs, personal stories, and powerful community-driven ideas. Thousands have already joined in. Huda's always put her platform to work This isn't a PR stunt. Huda has long been known for putting her money — and voice — where her heart is.

Real power, real people This time, the AED 1 million donation isn't just generous — it's interactive. It's a social media moment turned movement. Fans are cheering her on, nominating grassroots orgs, international NGOs, and local causes that rarely get mainstream shine. So what's next? Huda hasn't revealed the chosen cause just yet, but if her track record's anything to go by, it'll be bold, heartfelt, and game-changing.
