Oman today_ The Authority for Public Services Regulation (APSR) in Oman has announced new electricity tariffs that will come into effect in January 2025. This new structure, approved by the Chairman of the APSR Board, focuses on balancing costs, improving efficiency, and promoting the use of renewable energy.
The tariffs apply to residential, non-residential, agricultural, and fisheries sectors. In the residential sector, consumers will be charged based on their consumption in three categories. In the non-residential sector, an initial fixed rate of 25 baisa per kilowatt-hour has been set. For the agricultural and fisheries sectors, tariffs will vary between 12 and 24 baisa depending on consumption levels.
Key features of this plan include the exclusion of installation and equipment costs from the tariffs, encouraging responsible and sustainable energy consumption, and ensuring transparency and fairness for all consumer groups. These changes will be implemented following approved guidelines and under the supervision of licensed companies.
