Oman Data Park's Solar-Powered Data Centre Breakthrough
Greenlogue/AP Oman Data Park has formed a strategic alliance with Solar Wadi to establish the Sultanate's inaugural green energy data centre, powered by solar generation. The collaboration marks a significant step in aligning ODP's technological infrastructure with Oman's net-zero ambitions, as the data centre is set to harness sustainable energy to lower operational emissions and improve grid resilience. ODP, long regarded as the nation's leading provider of managed services, cloud platforms and cybersecurity solutions, is extending its operational philosophy to prioritise environmental responsibility. The agreement with Solar Wadi will see the integration of solar energy into ODP's power mix, effectively positioning this development as Oman's first environmentally powered data centre. ADVERTISEMENT ODP's Chief Executive, Eng. Maqbool Al Wahaibi, has underscored the project's dual strategic value: it reinforces the company's commitment to sustainable practices while responding to growing demand for digital infrastructure that aligns with climate goals. The initiative also dovetails with Oman's broader climate action roadmap, which includes institutional support through the newly launched Oman Net Zero Centre. This centre coordinates net-zero strategy development, energy-efficiency efforts and clean-technology adoption across government and private sectors. Solar Wadi enters the partnership with experience in renewable energy development and investment. As one of the pioneering independent Omani power companies, Solar Wadi delivers solar projects across various global markets, backed by pension funds and local as well as international investors. Its track record includes deploying systems that significantly reduce carbon emissions—projects like 100 MW solar plants that can mitigate 160,000 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents annually. The green data centre initiative arrives amid broader industry and governmental efforts to promote sustainability within Oman's ICT sector. Technical specialists advocate for innovations such as AI-optimised energy management systems, advanced cooling methods suitable for arid climates—including liquid immersion and sea-water cooling—and renewable-powered microgrids coupled with smart grid integration. These innovations support energy resilience and align with Oman's Vision 2040 targets. ODP's existing operations cover approximately 10 megawatts across five data centres, with plans to double capacity to meet rising demand, particularly for AI infrastructure. The green energy initiative injects a new strategic dimension into this expansion, affirming the company's emphasis on reducing carbon intensity as digital growth accelerates. This solar-powered development is one among multiple ODP-led infrastructure advances. Among other regional moves, ODP previously signed a substantial agreement—totaling $450 million—with INTRO Technology to build the Kemet Data Centre in Egypt's Suez Canal Economic Zone. That facility is also designed to incorporate solar energy solutions, supporting sustainable operations beyond Oman.

German gas drive fuels fears of climate backsliding
Sam Reeves, Agence France-Presse Germany's conservative-led government has launched a drive to rapidly build more gas-fired power plants, fuelling fears about climate policy backsliding and sparking unease even within its own ranks. Chancellor Friedrich Merz's coalition has made reviving Europe's struggling top economy a priority and argues that reliable and affordable energy supplies are crucial for the country's manufacturing titans. But critics charge the bid to boost fossil fuel production is ideologically driven and highlights a shift away from green policies under the new government. Merz leads a coalition that includes his centre-right CDU party and junior partners the centre-left SPD — but without the Greens, who were in the last administration. The economy ministry, headed by Katherina Reiche of the CDU, is vocally backing a target of building new gas plants with about 20 gigawatts of power production capacity by 2030. Reiche, a former energy company executive, has argued it is important to "move very quickly" towards building the plants "in order to maintain a high level of security of supply in our country". The goal is to have a backup source of power in times there are shortfalls of renewables, which sometimes happens when the sun is not shining or there is not enough wind. Supporters say more supply is needed in the short term as nuclear power has been switched off in Germany and coal should follow suit in the coming years. They argue natural gas — which emits greenhouse gases but is less polluting than coal — can bridge the gap until enough renewables come online. Under German climate law, the share of renewable electricity consumed in the country should rise to 80 percent by 2030. It stood at around 55 percent in 2024, according to the federal environment agency. Earlier this month, the government agreed gas production could begin off a North Sea island in an area straddling the border with the Netherlands, with a Dutch company planning to extract the fossil fuel, sparking condemnation from environmentalists. Plans to build more gas plants are not new, and the previous government also wanted to expand capacity, but the new targets are around double those of the past. Underlining the new government's changing priorities, Reiche's ministry has been renamed the "Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy" — under the Greens in the previous, SPD-led coalition, it was called the "Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action". She also appeared at one point to question Germany's legally binding target of achieving greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045, sparking tensions with SPD environment minister Carsten Schneider. An economy ministry spokesman told AFP that Reiche "stands by" the current climate goal. "The government is committed to achieving these targets with the political measures at its disposal — while maintaining Germany's position as an industrial location," he said. The Greens have regularly attacked Reiche while more than 380,000 people have so far signed a petition by campaign group Campact warning her policies risk "a dramatic setback in climate policy". But criticism is emerging even within the conservatives. The Climate Union, grouping CDU and other conservative politicians, has warned subsidies for new gas plants could push up power costs, the Handelsblatt financial daily reported. Energy think tank Agora Energiewende estimates that only a maximum of 10 gigawatts of extra gas plants would be needed by 2030 to supplement other power sources. "This will ensure security of supply — even if coal-fired power plants are taken off the grid as planned," Philipp Godron, the head of the group's power programme, told AFP. Meanwhile, questions remain over how quickly the plants can be built, while the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, still needs to give its approval. The economy ministry spokesman told AFP that talks with the EU for putting out tenders for a "significant portion" of the plants were "well-advanced". He also stressed that any new gas-fired plants must be "decarbonised in the long term", for example by switching them to green hydrogen, which was necessary "in view of the decarbonisation of the electricity system and compliance with EU law".
