King entrusts Prince
Hamzah with heading Royal panel on energy
King Abdullah on Sunday entrusted Prince Hamzah with heading a Royal panel to
revise and modernise the national strategy for energy. The King told Premier
Marouf Bakhit in a letter that the objective was to meet challenges facing the
sector. “Sustainable development largely depends on the national economy’s
ability to ensure the availability of energy resources,” the King said in the
letter. The Monarch also directed the committee to reconsider the national
strategy to restructure the entire energy sector and set a viable plan for

goals — Petra
