Sohar mining FAQ
What is Sohar's advantage for a mining facility?+
Existing heavy industrial power infrastructure and port access. Sohar is built around large-scale industry, so a mining load can often connect to capacity that already exists rather than requiring new transmission, which is frequently the longest part of a project timeline.
Is crypto mining legal in Oman?+
Yes, and unlike most jurisdictions the state has actively backed the sector through government-aligned investments in large facilities. Regulation is centrally directed rather than devolved to regions as it is in the UAE.
