This report provides Oman’s most comprehensive assessment to date of employment potential and workforce requirements across the clean energy economy. Developed as part of the Oman Labour Market Intelligence Analysis, it examines how jobs may be created across different clean energy sectors under varying policy and market conditions, and what this implies for education systems, labour-market planning, and workforce localisation. Using a bottom-up employment modelling approach combined with international benchmarks and local data, the report offers a forward-looking view of how Oman’s clean economy could translate into meaningful employment opportunities.

The analysis goes beyond headline job numbers to examine where jobs emerge along value chains, which skills and qualifications are required, and how employment evolves across project phases. Sector-specific deep dives into solar, wind, hydrogen, building energy efficiency, and clean manufacturing identify skill gaps, localisation challenges, and realistic pathways for upskilling and redeployment. Designed for policymakers, education and training institutions, investors, and industry stakeholders, the report provides an evidence-based foundation for aligning workforce development with Oman’s clean-energy ambitions and long-term economic diversification goals.
