Dr AlShaikh said the cooperation with Electromin will help provide energy audit services to Electromin and some of its affiliates’ facilities, such as Petromin Nissan Express, Diesel Express, Petromin Auto care, gas stations, office facilities, and other industrial and commercial facilities of Petromin.
