Sterling & Wilson Solar Limited (SWSL), one of the leading Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) provider announced the commission of operations of its first solar PV project in Oman on Monday, June 2.
With this project, Sterling & Wilson Solar has become the first Indian company to commission a solar PV project in this region.
“We are delighted to commission the Amin Solar PV Power Plant in Oman and to be working with a competent player such as Amin Renewable Energy Company,” said Bikesh Ogra, Director and Global CEO, Sterling and Wilson Solar Limited.

“SWSL constantly emphasizes on customer centricity, implementation, and delivery excellence which has assisted us to make inroads in strategically situated markets that have favorable solar power procedures and high solar properties,” Ogra added.
