It all began in January, 2009 when the idea of a platform to promote energy efficiency
and energy conservation was first mooted. The idea of an alliance between two global
energy organisations, World Energy Council and World Foundry Organization to focus
on issues of energy efficiency and energy conservation, especially in the foundry
and metallurgy sectors took shape and finally, on 6th April 2009, South Asia Forum
for Energy Efficiency was born. On 22nd.February 2011, the South Asia Forum for
Energy (SAFFE) was registered.
