The Senate approved on Monday an amendment to the renewable energy bill, stipulating a zero tax rate on green energy items, in a session chaired by Senate President Abdel Raouf Rawabdeh.
The amendment was approved in the same form as referred by the Lower House.

The law also facilitates the licensing requirements for the renewable energy projects in addition to granting them incentives and approvals in line with the national energy strategy.
