However, implementing cloud-based solutions for smart grids requires careful consideration of several critical factors. This research aims to identify the primary factors influencing electricity companies' the adoption of cloud-based solutions in smart grids in Oman. An in-depth interview was conducted with field experts to develop a comprehensive model that will potentially be a key reference source for guiding the adoption and implementation of cloud-based smart grids in Oman and beyond. This research is espoused by the technology organization environment (TOE) framework and the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory. The model identifies ten key factors that impact the adoption of smart grid cloud-based (SGCB) solutions in utilities in Oman. By understanding the significance of these factors, utility companies can make well-informed decisions about implementing cloud-based solutions for smart grids. This research serves as a valuable resource, guiding the adoption of this technology in the electricity sector. It also contributes to smart grid advancement and optimization within utility companies. 2025 200 215 4214 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/FPA.200214 https://americaspg.com/journal/3/article/4214 https://americaspg.com/storage/11765747358.pdf
