SAEL’s credibility in global financial markets is underpinned by strategic investments from institutional partners such as Norfund (wholly owned by the Norwegian government) and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), who together infused US$145 million as of June 30, 2025. These investments reflect international confidence in SAEL’s capacity to deliver long-term renewable energy impact and climate change mitigation outcomes.
With over 16 years of experience, SAEL possesses strong in-house Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) capabilities across complex solar and AgWTE projects.
