Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission: Landmark Achievements Reflect the Economic Modernization Vision
Engineer Ziyad Al-Saaida, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC), affirmed that the Commission continued in 2024 to fulfill its regulatory and oversight role over one of the Kingdom's most vital and strategic sectors. This has been guided by the Royal Directives and aligned with the priorities of the Economic Modernization Vision, all while fostering an investment-friendly regulatory environment that balances consumer protection and competitiveness. اضافة اعلان Al-Saaida highlighted that, in line with its commitment to enhancing energy supply security and diversifying local sources, the Commission facilitated the licensing of several strategic projects throughout the year. Most notably, it licensed the first natural gas compression station for locally produced gas from the Risha Field — a strategic step that boosts reliance on local production and supports the competitiveness of the industrial sector as part of a national drive toward efficient, safe, and sustainable energy sources. In the electric transport sector, Al-Saaida stated that the Commission licensed approximately 200 electric vehicle charging stations across the Kingdom. Additionally, over 80% of traditional electricity meters were replaced with smart meters in all sectors — a transformative step in the digitalization of the sector. This move improved consumption efficiency, enhanced billing mechanisms, and reduced electricity losses, aligning with the shift toward a smart, sustainable power grid. Regarding the natural resources sector, Al-Saaida noted that the Commission issued more than 4,900 import and export licenses for mineral raw materials in the past year. It also conducted over 2,900 field inspection tours aimed at protecting national resources from illegal exploitation of quarries and mines and enforcing strict quality control systems over extraction and trade operations. In the field of radiation and nuclear safety, the Commission achieved a regional milestone by linking its fixed radiation monitoring stations to the International Radiation Monitoring Information System (IRMIS) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This made Jordan one of the first Arab countries to establish this connection, enhancing national preparedness for radiological emergencies and elevating international coordination standards in this critical area. In conclusion, Al-Saaida emphasized that the accomplishments of 2024 marked a qualitative leap in service delivery to licensees, investors, and citizens. These achievements also reinforced standards of transparency and governance, culminating in the Commission receiving the King Abdullah II Award for Excellence in Government Performance and Transparency in the Infrastructure and Energy category — a prestigious national honor that reflects the efficiency of EMRC's workforce and the excellence of its institutional framework. He reaffirmed the Commission's ongoing commitment to institutional effectiveness, balanced regulation, and investment promotion — all in pursuit of a safe, sustainable, and highly efficient energy and minerals sector that serves the public interest.
