The solar power-oriented initiative is intended to reduce dependency on polluting energy sources, and to allow its population to generate power independently, the <em>Oman News Agency<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Trade and Industry minister Ali al-Sunaidy, who attended the program&rsquo;s launch, said that Sahim enables citizens and organizations to produce electricity for personal use, and to sell any surplus to power utilities at cost prices. <\/p>\n<p>Currently, all of Oman&rsquo;s electricity derives from non-renewable sources, and 96% of it is gas-based. <\/p>\n<p>According to al-Sunaidy, the Sahim project will also enable commercial facilities, schools and other institutions to produce energy in unorthodox locations such as parking lots. <\/p>\n<p>The program also involves small and medium businesses that have been trained to provide power generation-related services. The minister encouraged the owners of businesses, farms and households to have their own solar panels. <\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-191417\">Mohammed Mahjoub\/AFP<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Gulf country kicked off its Sahim project this Wednesday.
