  • “GlassPoint’s largest and most ambitious project to date – the 1 GW Miraah project in Oman – has hit each of its intermediate milestones on time and on budget, despite being sited in a very challenging and remote area. For a start-up to take on such an ambitious project and to deliver on its promises, rather than providing a stream of excuses and delays, is…refreshing.”

  • “Called Miraah, which means “mirror” in Arabic, the $600 million, 1,021-megawatt solar-thermal facility...will comprise 36 glasshouse modules and will generate an average of 6,000 tons of solar steam daily”

  • “One of the world’s largest solar farms is planned for the deserts of the Persian Gulf country Oman. But unlike most solar plants that produce electricity to power homes and buildings, the gigantic solar farm will use the sun’s rays to create steam”
