What is the key target for the share of renewable energy in Oman's total domestic electricity generation by the year 2030 under national energy strategies?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. At least 20 to 30 percent
- Step 1: Under national energy transition policies and the National Energy Strategy, Oman aims to generate at least 20% to 30% of its domestic electricity from renewable sources (solar and wind) by 2030.
- Step 2: This milestone increases to 39% by 2040 and net zero emissions by 2050.
Answer
At least 20 to 30 percent.
Why not the others: 'Exactly 100 percent' is an unfeasible timeline for 2030 baseline grid transition; 'Less than 5 percent' was the historic baseline prior to recent mega-projects; 'Zero percent' is the opposite of national diversification policy.
