Outline
• Background
 KSA Energy consumption pattern.
 How we are compared to others?
• EE a source of energy!
 EE played an important role in saving World Energy.
 Electricity consumption in USA.
 It is also true in KSA.
• EE plays a role in CO2 emission reduction.
• Establishment of SEEC “Vision, Mission & Str. Map”

SEEC’s Vision
To play a leading role for KSA to
achieve the world average energy
intensity by 2020 capitalizing on
the support of the stakeholders
and integration of their EE
efforts.
SEEC’s Mission
Support preserving the national energy
resources to enhance the national
development and economy through the
rationalization of energy consumption
and improving energy efficiency in
order to achieve the lowest possible
levels of energy intensity.
SEEC’s Mission…continue
SEEC’s main activities include:
 Development of policies, rules and
regulations governing EE and support their
implementation.
 Support the integration of the
stakeholders’ efforts to improve EE and
coordination amongst them.
 Promote EE awareness at both public and
institutional levels.
 Participate, as needed, in the
implementation of EE pilot projects.
