Amman, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Saleh Kharabsheh said Saturday that sufficient fuel supplies, including liquefied gas, need to be available, especially during the winter.

He spoke during a tour of the Amman LPG Filling Gas Station in the neighborhood of Abu Alanda, where he was accompanied by Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, Ziyad Saaida.

The minister spoke of the importance of updating legislation to deal with any “developments in the oil derivatives sector,” calling for cooperation by all concerned parties to ensure quality service and meet the needs of citizens in various weather conditions.

For his part, Saaida called on energy authorities to ensure the provision of quality service, address public complaints and promptly deal with any interruptions, assuring that the EMRC will ensure that services meet technical standards and regulations, and carry out regular and surprise checks of gas stations across the Kingdom.

The regulatory commission, he said, will ensure energy facilities adhere to licensing regulations and deal with any increases in demand during the current weather conditions.
