Landmark decision to unify national addressing system

Muscat – The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning (MHUP) has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative to overhaul Oman''s addressing system by issuing Ministerial Decision No 200/2024. This landmark decision, set to take effect six months post its publication in the Official Gazette, outlines a strategic plan for a centralised national database alongside a

Climate change and urban energy systems

Introduction. The energy systems that provide the "life blood" to cities are as complex and diverse as cities themselves. Reflecting local natural resource and economic conditions, supply chains that may extend globally, historic investments in technology, and cultural and political preferences, urban energy systems serve as either a key accelerator or brake on the vitality and prospects

Digitalization of urban multi-energy systems

Urban multi-energy systems (UMES) incorporating distributed energy resources are vital to future low-carbon energy systems. These systems demand complex solutions, including increased integration of renewables, improved efficiency through electrification, and exploitation of synergies via sector coupling across multiple sectors and infrastructures.
