Saesa Innova

What Saesa Innova does

Saesa Innova is a Chilean integrated energy solutions provider and a subsidiary of Grupo Saesa, the Chilean energy group owned by Ontario Teachers Pension Plan Board (OT-PPB) and Alberta Investment Management Corp (AIMCo). Headquartered in Osorno with a regional office in Santiago (Las Condes), the company was established in 2021 to deliver end-to-end energy services to mining, industrial, commercial, and real estate customers across Chile. Its portfolio spans four core pillars: (1) Photovoltaic plants including rooftop, ground-mounted, and hybrid configurations integrating battery energy storage (BESS) and backup generation; (2) Electrical projects covering medium and low voltage line construction (aerial and underground), connections, power upgrades, vertical building connections, and LED public lighting (with 51,000+ luminaries deployed); (3) Energy backup via rental of generator sets from 0.4 MW to 3 MW, totaling 45 MW of installed capacity with 24/7 emergency service; and (4) Energy commercialization for libre clients (>500 kW capacity) with I-REC renewable certification. The company also distributes personal insurance products (home and accidental death) in partnership with Chubb and operates a mining-specialized sub-brand, STN Minería.

The business model combines project-based hardware sales and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) revenue from PV and electrical infrastructure projects; recurring rental income from the backup generator fleet; transaction-fee revenue from energy supply commercialization to libre clients; subscription revenue from insurance premium distribution; and professional services for electrical construction. Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales target mining, industrial, and large real estate developers, while inside sales and online quotation tools (hosted on Pipedrive webforms) capture mid-market leads. Distribution is exclusively domestic within Chile, covering regions from Biobío to Magallanes y Antártica Chilena. The value proposition rests on integration (single provider for PV + storage + backup + construction), the Grupo Saesa brand legacy of approximately 100 years, and quantifiable environmental outcomes (2,618+ tons of CO2 reduced annually across disclosed projects).
