Driving National Energy Efficiency with Saudi Energy Efficiency Center

SEEC needed a digital platform to help industrial organizations across the Kingdom implement structured energy management practices. The goal was to create a system that would facilitate the collection of energy data and providing energy efficiency certification to facilities but also support them in optimizing energy use, identifying savings opportunities, and adopting sustainable practices.

Client

The Saudi Energy Efficiency Center (SEEC) under the Ministry of Energy is the government authority dedicated to rationalizing energy consumption and enhancing efficiency across all sectors in Saudi Arabia. By collaborating with government and private entities, SEEC works to preserve the Kingdom’s natural resources and implement global best practices in energy management, supporting the national goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

Challenge

To advance its mission, SEEC needed a digital platform to help industrial organizations across the Kingdom implement structured energy management practices. The goal was to create a system that would not only facilitate the collection of energy data and providing energy efficiency certification to facilities but also support them in optimizing energy use, identifying savings opportunities, and adopting sustainable practices aligned with international standards like ISO 50001.

“How can a national energy program ensure consistent implementation across thousands of industrial facilities?”

 

By combining structured frameworks like ISO 50001 with an accessible digital platform that guides, monitors, and certifies every step of the energy management process.

Solution

Oivan and SEEC began their partnership in 2021, with Oivan tasked to design, build, and operate the Energy Management System (EnMS) platform. The initial project, delivered in 2021-2022, established a web-based system for energy data management and fully integrated OpenEdX-based e-learning solution.

Following the successful launch, Oivan was engaged for a second phase to further improve and enhance the EnMS platform. This ongoing improvement project involves:

  • Analysis and Enhancement: A thorough review of the existing platform to identify areas for optimization and enhancement based on new requirements.
  • Development and Modernization: Implementing new features, improving backend APIs, and refactoring the solution architecture to meet scalability and cybersecurity standards demanded by Saudi’s evolving digital infrastructure.
  • Support and Operations: Providing continuous support, maintenance, hosting, and cybersecurity services to ensure the platform remains secure and operates according to the agreed service levels.

 

“Why does modernization matter for government digital platforms?”

 

Because scalability, data protection, and user experience are key to long-term adoption—especially in large-scale transformation programs under Vision 2030.

Outcome

The EnMS platform has become a cornerstone of SEEC’s efforts to promote energy efficiency in Saudi Arabia’s industrial sector. It empowers organizations to measure, manage, and improve energy performance, while promoting capacity building through training programs, awareness campaigns, and technical guidelines.

 

The partnership between Oivan and SEEC demonstrates how digital transformation, when rooted in local context and Vision 2030 goals, can drive tangible environmental and economic impact.

 

“How does this project contribute to Vision 2030?”

 

By enabling industries to adopt smarter, greener practices that reduce energy intensity—supporting Saudi Arabia’s national sustainability objectives and economic diversification.

 

 

FAQ

Q1: What technologies power the SEEC Energy Management System?

The platform combines secure cloud architecture, API-driven integrations, and OpenEdX-based learning modules, providing both technical robustness and educational empowerment.

 

Q2: How does Oivan ensure cybersecurity and scalability for national-level systems?

Oivan applies DevSecOps practices, continuous vulnerability testing, and architecture modernization—ensuring compliance with Saudi National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) frameworks and supporting long-term scalability.

 

Q3: Can this model be replicated for other sectors under Vision 2030?

Yes. The EnMS approach—combining data management, compliance frameworks, and capacity building—is adaptable to other sustainability-driven initiatives like water efficiency, waste management, or smart infrastructure programs.

 

Q4: What AI’s role going forward?

The future development plans could include e.g. integrating AI-driven analytics, ChatGPT-style conversational assistants, and predictive dashboards to help decision-makers simulate energy-saving scenarios and make faster, data-backed decisions.
