SAEK provides independent technical advisory, owner’s engineering, and due
diligence services to support informed decision-making across the development, financing, delivery, and operation of power and energy infrastructure projects.
These services are designed to protect client interests by providing objective, technically
rigorous assessment of project assumptions, designs, risks, and performance expectations.
SAEK acts as a trusted technical advisor, supporting clients in navigating complex
technical, contractual, and regulatory environments with clarity and confidence.
Our approach is independent, structured, and risk-focused. We act exclusively in the interest
of our clients, free from commercial influence from vendors, EPC contractors, or technology providers.
We engage at all stages of the project lifecycle — from early development and feasibility
through to construction oversight and operational review. Our work is tailored to the client’s role, whether as developer, asset owner, investor, or lender.
Technical assessments are aligned with international standards, lender expectations, and industry best practice, with a strong focus on practical risk mitigation and decision readiness.
Our technical advisory, owner’s engineering, and due diligence services typically include the following:
Independent assessment of project concepts, site conditions, grid access, and system configuration to support early-stage development decisions and project viability.
Representation of client interests throughout design and delivery, including review of engineering outputs, coordination of technical interfaces, and support during procurement, construction, and commissioning.
Objective review of technical designs, specifications, and engineering assumptions prepared by EPC contractors or vendors, with identification of risks, gaps, and improvement opportunities.
Comprehensive technical assessment of projects and assets to support mergers, acquisitions, refinancing, and project finance. This includes review of technical risks, performance assumptions, and mitigation strategies.
Independent review of EPC and vendor technical proposals, scope definitions, performance guarantees, and assumptions to support procurement decisions and contract negotiations.
Identification of key technical, delivery, and operational risks, with practical recommendations for mitigation and risk allocation.
