The Saudi Energy Efficiency Center (SEEC) is the regulator for companies performing energy efficiency related activities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Licence types

SEEC is the entity responsible for licensing companies intending to perform energy efficiency related services in the building and industry sector. Since the activities cover different segments of the energy efficiency value chain, different types of companies could perform them. For this reason, SEEC has defined three types of companies that typically perform those activities.Moreover, SEEC will rely on companies’ previous experience to judge on the quality of their services. Companies with enough past experience will apply for a full license. However, for companies that have a robust financial structure and appropriate qualifications to deliver high quality energy projects but do not have the required record of accomplishment of project delivery in the Kingdom to obtain full licensing can apply for a provisional license.
