ENERGY the replacement of the telecommunication networks across the city and many residential and industrial areas have been equipped with fibre optic .

Introducing the district cooling concept As well as bringing technological advances to within the city walls , the Royal Commission has also introduced a district cooling concept , which is currently in development . The aim of the new cooling system is to improve power consumption across the city , while also allowing high density and diverse usage to occur . For example , the new system will allow cold storage of energy to avoid energy outages during peak hours . Arising from this concept , the city hopes to attract new industries and foreign investors to the area .
The Royal Commission has set a goal to raise the standard of the three cities in a wholesome and all inclusive way . Not content with papering over any cracks , every detail has been considered , no matter how large or small . Robust infrastructure , technological innovation , sustainable development and social considerations have set Jubail , Yanbu and Ras Al-Khair in good stead to flourish now and in the future .
