The suspension of new petroleum retail and wholesale license application has been extended to 28 February 2021. In terms of the new Petroleum Products and Energy Act of 2000, nobody may operate a retail outlet unless such person has a retail licence. The Ministry of Mines and Energy through a media release says it is reviewing the procedures and requirements leading to granting fuel licenses and erecting of new fuel sites. This, the ministry says, is provided for in the act. Once finalised, the new requirements, applications, guidelines and procedures will be obtained on the Mines and Energy Ministry's website www.mmegov.na
