In most power projects, BEMCO has arranged project financing to accommodate the owner's shortage when the yearly allocation funds does not match construction progress and when payment tenures are longer than construction. Some of these finances include long-term project structures financing as well as deferred payment options with tenures between 5-10 years. As the power sector evolves, BEMCO continues to pioneer this concept at the forefront of the movement.

Since its inception, BEMCO has pioneered and initiated several concepts for the implementation of Independent Power Projects (IPP) in the kingdom of Saudia Arabia. This initiative has been conveyed to government and utility officials by way of presentations and proposals for specific projects. In this process, BEMCO has worked with international developers and financial institutions, thus acquiring a great degree of experience and know-how in the integration of the development activities within the bidding and construction phases of these transactions. For this purpose, joint ventures with international developers and manufacturers of equipment have been established to integrate the international know-how and technologies with the experience of local contractors.
