The Ministerial Council for the Economy has approved new measures to accelerate the rollout of renewable energy projects as part of the government's "smart and rapid solutions" programme for the electricity distribution sector.
Under the decisions, provincial governors have been granted authority to refer investment projects linked to approved technical models for renewable energy, covering districts, sub-districts and city centres, in coordination with the Higher Committee for Coordination between Provinces and the relevant electricity distribution directorates.
The Council also approved the handover of state-owned land allocated for renewable energy projects from the State Real Estate Directorate to the Ministry of Electricity, with instructions to complete all allocation procedures. In addition, the State Real Estate Directorate has been authorised to allocate land for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, while the Agricultural Land Directorate has been empowered to lift agricultural reform restrictions on land designated for such projects.
