Kingdom Investment Corporation Limited (KICL) is proud to announce the establishment of Kingdom Energy Holdings Limited (KEHL). Operating under KICL's Operative Decisive Task (ODT) Funding Program, KEHL is set to transform the energy and natural resource sectors. This initiative aligns with KICL's Nine Box Strategy and its broader mission to drive sustainable economic development.
KICL has allocated more than €10 billion to KEHL for investment in energy-focused funds to execute strategic mergers and acquisitions of projects and companies with regional natural resource assets. This initiative aims to forge regional and global partnerships, particularly with governments, through public-private partnership (PPP) models. KEHL’s efforts will contribute to sustainable energy solutions and economic growth across Africa and beyond.
KEHL’s Vision: Unlocking Africa’s Resource Potential with Strong Governance and Management
KEHL aspires to become a global leader in natural resource investment, with a strategic focus on Africa’s untapped wealth of oil, gas, mines, and minerals. By harnessing these resources, KEHL will drive economic diversification and regional development while advancing research and development in renewable and alternative energy sources to prepare for future paradigm shifts in industrialization models worldwide.
Through strategic partnerships, exploration initiatives, and investments in natural resource management infrastructure, KEHL aims to unlock the value of Africa’s resource-rich landscapes through fair trade, open and globalized marketization. It also seeks to address growing regional energy demands sustainably, foster equitable development through PPP models, and promote responsible resource management alongside regional governments. Additionally, KEHL is exploring a carbon net-zero business and investment portfolio strategy to mitigate long-term climate change risks.
With the rising demand for energy driven by technological and industrial advancements, KEHL remains committed to integrating sustainable practices, ensuring efficient drilling and mining operations, and advancing the global push for renewable energy.
