We revisit transformative energy solutions company, Energia, who is on a clear mission to deliver reliable, innovative, and sustainable energy solutions that empower businesses to operate at their best. Shahid Hassan, CEO, discusses the company’s recent innovations and developments.
METICULOUSLY CRAFTED ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Energy services provider, Energia, is successfully propelling transformative solutions for business and community prosperity.
Since we spoke to the company last year, it has expanded into hybrid and renewable energy, enhancing operational efficiency and building partnerships that position it effectively for the next decade of growth.
In line with Saudi Vision 2030, the company is not just adapting to the energy transition; it is helping lead it.
Over the past 12 months, Energia has accelerated its transformation into a total energy solutions provider in Saudi Arabia.
“My role as CEO has been to ensure we grow strategically, expanding into new sectors whilst keeping our commitment to reliability, innovation, and sustainability at the forefront,” Shahid Hassan, CEO, introduces.
Having broadened its offerings with energy storage systems (ESS) and hybrid power solutions, upgraded its fleet to include EU Stage V-compliant generators with up to 90 percent reduced emissions, introduced solar tower lights, and enhanced its cooling and modular infrastructure capabilities, Energia sets itself apart.
The company also restructured a key joint venture by bringing in a partner with diversified expertise in infrastructure, energy, and oil and gas, positioning Energia for broader turnkey solutions going forwards.
EVOLVING TO MEET DEMAND
Energia remains headquartered in Riyadh with strategic operations across the Kingdom, including Jeddah, Jubail, and other key regional hubs.
Its portfolio covers energy, cooling, welding, tent, and modular solutions, medium-voltage transformers, turnkey power plants, and wastewater management solutions.
The company continues to serve clients across the construction, oil and gas, telecommunications, healthcare, events, and renewable energy spaces, complemented by a workforce that has grown steadily over the past year to support larger and more complex projects.
This expansion reflects both increased demand across the region and a broader commitment to local capability building.
As the energy industry in the Middle East has continued to evolve over the past year, the region has undergone rapid diversification.
Whilst oil and gas remain at the core, there’s an undeniable shift towards large-scale renewable energy, hybrid systems, and battery energy storage solutions (BESS).
Meanwhile, governments are setting ambitious clean energy targets, and the private sector is responding with innovation.
“We’re also seeing growing demand for energy efficiency, low-emission equipment, and resilient infrastructure to meet rising electricity needs, particularly in high-demand sectors like construction, events, and industrial projects,” Hassan tells us.
For many, hydrogen and green fuels are also emerging as strategic priorities for the future.
CONTRIBUTING TO A SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE
In light of the region’s push for a clean energy future, Energia continues to build upon its innovative solar and BESS hybrid solutions which are now delivering results in the field – powering remote sites, events, and even temporary facilities with clean, reliable energy.
By pairing clean solar fold photovoltaic (PV) systems with BESS, the company has helped clients to cut diesel usage by up to 60 percent, reducing emissions and maintaining uninterrupted power even in challenging conditions.
“It’s a practical demonstration of how sustainable solutions can match traditional systems in performance whilst offering clear environmental and cost benefits,” Hassan prides.
Saudi Vision 2030 is at the heart of Energia’s strategy, with investments in renewables, hybrid power, and battery storage directly supporting the Kingdom’s clean energy ambitions.
The company also contributes to Saudi Vision 2030 through local workforce development, skills transfer, and partnerships that strengthen national capabilities.
“Everything we do – whether for a major event or a remote industrial site – aims to deliver reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy that drives the Kingdom forwards,” he reflects.
DOUBLING DOWN
Having partnered with Germany’s BAUER Group to introduce reed-box wastewater treatment systems in Saudi Arabia, Energia is doubling down on its sustainability goals.
These nature-based systems treat water through plant-based filtration, reducing chemical usage and energy demand whilst returning clean water to the environment.
“It’s a natural extension of our sustainability commitment, broadening our solutions portfolio into water resilience and aligning with national goals for environmental stewardship and resource efficiency,” Hassan details.
This adds to Energia’s strong progress with advanced energy storage, such as integrating BESS into multiple hybrid deployments.
“These systems are already delivering fuel and emission reductions for our clients,” he adds.
Where hydrogen is concerned, the company is building relationships and exploring partnerships to ensure it’s ready for market adoption – whether through hydrogen-ready equipment or supporting emerging hydrogen infrastructure.
“Our approach is deliberate: to deliver scalable, proven technologies today, whilst laying the groundwork to lead the energy solutions of tomorrow,” Hassan declares.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Energia’s immediate priority is to leverage its existing 450+ megawatt (MW) rental fleet to transition from its pure equipment rental model and become an independent power producer (IPP).
“This pivot will also allow us to offer long-term, scalable solutions that meet the growing demand for hybrid and renewable power in the Kingdom,” Hassan sets out.
As the company focuses on building a future-ready energy business that can deliver clean, reliable, and cost-effective power, it continues to focus on solar, hybrid, and advanced storage solutions.
This aligns with shifting client preferences, national sustainability goals, and the evolving regulatory landscape.
“Our long-term goal is to establish Energia as the market leader in clean and reliable temporary power in Saudi Arabia and the wider region,” he passionately concludes.
In this way, the company supports Saudi Vision 2030 by accelerating the transition to sustainable energy whilst maintaining the operational excellence that Energia’s clients trust and have come to expect.
