In this regard, His Majesty the King has given His High Instructions to consider a far-reaching reform of this body in order to transform it into a regulatory authority for the energy sector, by revising its respective law, broadening its scope to include, other than electricity, all the components of the energy sector. These include natural gas, new energies such as hydrogen and its derivatives, as well as production, storage, transport and distribution, in order to keep pace with the maturity that the energy sector has reached in our country, and to be in line with international best practices in this field.
