Dr. Al-Qaq explained that the intensification of field inspections is part of the Commission's commitment to raising the level of compliance and reducing non-compliant practices, thereby protecting the rights of compliant subscribers, preserving public property and the safety of individuals and the environment, and enhancing the sustainability of energy services.
She pointed out that the specificity of Mafraq Governorate and its large area, which constitutes about 30% of the Kingdom's area, along with the diversity of activities related to energy and natural resources, necessitates the continuation of regulatory work and the development of its tools, noting that the Commission relies on digital inspection tools and geographic surveys to verify coordinates and licensed sites and to ensure compliance with license limits and conditions.
She also noted that the Commission has strengthened oversight of mining and extraction activities and energy sectors, as well as monitoring the movement of raw materials through inspection and monitoring points in Ruwaishid and Safawi, to verify the sources of raw materials and ensure compliance of their transportation operations with legal and regulatory frameworks.
Dr. Al-Qaq affirmed that these regulatory and organizational measures are part of the Commission's role in regulating and monitoring sectors within its jurisdiction, protecting national resources, and ensuring the application of legislation, contributing to creating an organized and fair investment environment and reducing violations and excesses in various areas of the governorate.
