Tarshid, the National Energy Services Company, and Siemens Saudi Arabia signed a smart energy scheme to reduce 4,300 tons of CO2 emissions and support the National Information Center (NIC) save 28% on energy consumption annually. Leveraging on the ESPC model to accelerate smart building performance initiatives and reduce national domestic energy usage, Siemens is supporting businesses in the Kingdom along their journey towards a more sustainable and profitable future.

 

Serving the Kingdom’s strategic sustainability goal of achieving significant energy savings by 2030, Siemens is partnering with Tarshid in the implementation of a holistic building performance and sustainability solution for the NIC. With buildings now becoming an essential part of clean energy transition strategies in the Kingdom, Siemens’ energy saving measures for its cooling, lighting and occupancy-based energy scheme ensures the best outcomes for their project value and minimize operating expenditures within the ESPC’s 10-year payback scheme. 

 

Combining the expertise of Siemens’ data analytics and digital services capabilities to deliver new levels of building performance and insights, the NIC will be able to reduce their strategic and operational goals, whilst increasing their competitive advantage.

 

Elangovan Karuppiah, CEO of Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Regional Solutions & Services Middle East and Asia said, “Siemens has been a trusted partner of Saudi Arabia for nearly a century. This exciting new energy efficiency project is evidence of our firm commitment to jointly build the smart infrastructure that will power the Kingdom’s smart cities and create a sustainable future for the next generation.”

 

Siemens has expanded its investment in Saudi Arabia by transferring its know-how in energy efficiency, as well as its regional competency centers and global know-how to enable the Kingdom to reduce its dependency on oil and cut power consumption of its critical facilities, like the National Information Center (NIC). Backed by a strong global network of building performance and advisory services and proven track record in energy efficiency projects, Siemens is turning buildings and organizations in the Kingdom into high performing assets by maximizing efficiency, minimizing costs and reducing environmental impact.
