4.2.1. CRITERIA OF RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The participants’ response on the aspects of the criteria of renewable energy project management
is summarized in Table 2: Criteria of Renewable Energy Project Management and Figure 1:
Criteria of Renewable Energy Project Management below. Considering the criteria that most
participants strongly agreed with we observe that 43% of the participants strongly agreeing with
Support for Top Management, hence Support for Top Management is the main criteria for
success in Project Management in Oman.Table 2: Criteria of Renewable Energy Project Management
