Khaberni - The House of Representatives continues on Wednesday, during a legislative session, the discussion of the Gas Law Project for the year 2025 starting from Article 19.
The council approved, by the majority, 18 articles out of 32, which are the number of articles in the law project.
The Cabinet approved, in a session held on August 10, 2025, the new draft law, which constitutes a modern legislative framework, organizing the activities of the gas sector and hydrogen derivatives in the kingdom, and enhancing the national energy infrastructure.
The law includes various types of gas, including natural gas, biogas, biomethane, and hydrogen, reflecting legislative flexibility to accommodate the global shift towards clean energy.
The law project covers the main gas activities, including import, transportation, distribution, storage, wholesale, and retail, within an integrated system that allows shared or proprietary use of facilities.
It enables major economic and strategic projects to be implemented and also encourages investment in the sector through a clear regulatory environment and simplified licensing procedures that include all project stages.
The new law project is likely to stimulate the transition to natural gas, thanks to the presence of a regulatory law and simplified procedures that encourage investment in transportation, distribution, and storage networks.
The draft law establishes clear mechanisms for calculating fees and grants licensees the freedom to sign investment and sales agreements within a transparent and fair competitive environment.
