    PREFACE This Distribution System Capability Statement (DSCS) is provided by Muscat Electricity Distribution Company (MEDC) to fulfil its regulatory obligations under Condition number 32 of the MEDC Distribution and Supply Licence as well as the Oman Distribution Planning Code 4.4. MEDC supplies electricity to customers throughout the Muscat Governate as the owner and operator of its electricity distribution system originating from the 33kV busbars of the Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) 132/33kV grid substations down to the final customer’s point of connection; which incorporates 33kV, 11kV and Low Voltage (LV) distribution system voltage levels and associated assets. The aim of this DSCS is to provide an up-to-date distribution system capability for the next three years (2021-2023) along with data to enable customers in identifying parts of the system; which offer opportunities for future connections or upgrading of existing connections to the MEDC system and where constraints currently exist or potentially could exist in future. In addition to the required data made available annually as part of DSCS; MEDC additionally has provided improved detailed system connectivity and additional technical data of assets, impact analysis of Cost Reflective Tariff (CRT) on MEDC customers and an overview of the photovoltaic (PV) system penetration in the MEDC distribution system which is gaining momentum in our licenced area as well. These additions are expected to provide customers and other stakeholders with a transparent understanding of MEDC distribution system and operational overview, sufficient technical parameters to undertake initial system capabilities assessment and the overall distribution system development. Additionally, this year the world including MEDC customers and hence its network have experienced a force-majure event triggered due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has temporarily but significantly impacted electricity demand including future growth in the MEDC licenced area.

  • CHRONOLOGY Early History Origins No Historical Evidence Exists
    CHRONOLOGY Early History origins No historical evidence exists regarding the origins of Muscat, although it seems likely that it may be several millennia old or more. Prehistoric set- tlements and burial grounds dating from the 4th millennium B.C. exist at Bandar Jissah, al- Wutayyah, Ra"s al-Hamra", Bawshar, al-Saruj, al-Khuwayr, and elsewhere in the capital area. Prehistoric rock art also exists in Wadi 'Adayy. 696 A fleet sent by al-Hajjaj b.

    110 Corresp.-bladNedMalac. Ver., No. 316 (September2000) 110 De schelpen van de sultan: Oman door 1 D. Brouwer R. Brouwer S. van Leeuwen & Y. Schotanus Wie ooit het prachtige boek 'Seashells of Eastern Arabia' van Bosch, Dance, 'onze' Rob Moolenbeek en Oliver in handen heeft gehad weet hoe rijk de malacofauna van Oman is. Ons enthousiasme werd Piet verder aangewakkerd door van Pel die voor de Friese hield Schelpenwerkgroep een aanstekelijke lezing over zijn ervaringen in Oman. Prettige bijkomstigheid was een aanbieding van Lufthansa, die voor 600 gulden een retour Amsterdam-Muscat aanbood.Op 20 februari2000 was het zover: wij vertrokken voor een 2-weekse verzamelreis naar Oman. Het is acht in het zuid- Sultanaat Oman ongeveer keer zo grootals Nederland en ligt oosten van het Arabisch schiereiland. Oman heeft 1700 km kust waar u uw hart kunt De noordkust onder de hoofdstad de Golf ophalen. (met meer Muscat) grenst aan van Oman, aan de oostkust vinden we de Arabische Zee. Beide delen van de kust werden door ons bezocht, althans een stukje ervan. Het klimaat is subtropisch tot tropisch. Oman bleek, in ons geval met een huurauto, een zeer gemakkelijk te bereizen en veilig land. Een visum is eenvoudig te krijgen. Er zijn uitstekende hotels, modeme wegen en de bevolking is zeer vriendelijk. Het enige nadeel is dat de prijzen van de hotels zijn die ruim voorzien oliedollars.Mocht niet bedreven afgestemd op mensen zijn van u zo in het Arabisch, dan de anekdote stellen. Na aankomst in zijn mag volgende u gerust Oman brengt een taxi ons naar het hotel.
