ANNUAL REPORT 2021

SMN Power participated in the competition organized by Oman Petroleum Association Services
(OPAL) and the Company received an award under Environment category for Best Practices.
This competition has been organized since 2015, to bring best performing members to limelight
and disseminate their achievement across the industry. Over 100 projects were presented by
different Companies, out of which 42 were shortlisted for presentation to independent jury
and finally 12 projects have been selected as winners across 7 categories. The awards were
given by H.E. Salim Al Aufi, The Undersecretary, Ministry of Energy and Minerals.

While this project is still in the development stage, it is hoped other power generators in Oman
will initiate similar projects along the beach so that a tree lined coast can be developed. It is
also hoped with continuous care and attention, phase 1 and 2 of the project would become
self-sustainable by the middle of 2022 which could result in the initiation of phase 3 as an
extension of this important project.
