Corporate Social Responsibility Report

Al Batinah Power Company SAOG (the “Company”) takes its role as a responsible corporate citizen seriously. Guided by its new CSR policy focusing on local initiatives in the areas of education, sports, health, safety and environment, the Company realized 3 projects at local schools near the plant.

The first project was completed in March at the Al Rakha’a Basic Education School, Sohar. The Company has procured 5 smart projectors for the school class rooms. The smart projectors are interactive and very versatile and enable students to follow intricate mathematics, graphical presentations as also scientific study/teaching material. In that way, the information is displayed in a way that appeals to the eyes of the young students.

The second project combined the educational, sports, health and safety aspects of our CSR policy. The project was completed in November at the Ali Bin Abi Talib School near the power plant.The Company sponsored the synthetic soft surface for a sports area in the school in order to prevent the risk for injuries for nearly 490 Omani boys between ages 10 and 15 who use the playground on a regular basis. In addition, 12 big mobile fans were taken into service, providing cooling in a covered playground inside the school.

The third and final CSR project for this year was guided by the educational element of our CSR policy. The Company procured 20 smart plasma screens for the Jawaher Al Elm Basic School, a school with nearly 500 boys and girls between ages 6 and 10. The smart screens are interactive and enable teachers to use graphical presentations, videos and a wide range of teaching material in a way that appeals to the eyes of young students. A special application for deaf students was also demonstrated.
