Muscat Electricity Distribution Co. overcomes many engineering and environment challenges, continuing to improve system performance. The Muscat Electricity Distribution Co. (MEDC) distribution network is supplied by the Oman Electricity Transmission Co. (OETC) from 19 132/33-kV substations. Another six substations are scheduled to be commissioned over the next five years. The peak electrical demand in the governorate has grown from 464 MW in 1990 to 1763 MW in 2012, reflecting the governorate's part in the large economic development of the country and the accompanying growth in population. There is an annual growth in the peak demand of 6.3% and an average growth of 5.7% in energy sales. This annual growth represents a doubling of the distribution network every decade or so, presenting MEDC with a demanding challenge to plan its new networks in a timely fashion.
