Tonga's government is working on a new national energy bill after signing a deal with the European Union and a legal consulting firm last week.
A lawyer working on the reform says the existing laws governing petroleum, electricity and renewable energy will be integrated into one bill.
Sela Bloomfield from Solutions Consulting House says new provisions regulating gas will also be included.
She told Jenny Meyer the legislation is a significant milestone as Tonga makes progress on its ten year old Energy Road Map.
