Member News: Cegal reports strong 2025 performance with 30% international growth as demand for AI ready data accelerates

Aberdeen, UK – March 25th, 2026 – Cegal delivered a solid financial performance in 2025, reporting 30% growth in international markets and an 8% increase in total revenue to $184.4 million. EBITDA reached $37.9 million, reflecting a 21% margin, and the company closed the year with a $295.3 million order backlog, reinforcing its position as a strategic technology partner for the global energy sector.

“Our ambition for 2025 was to strengthen our performance across the board, and I’m pleased to see clear progress in revenue, profitability, orders and customer and employee satisfaction” adds Dagfinn Ringås, CEO of Cegal.

Supporting the energy sector’s transition to AI driven operations

As energy companies accelerate their adoption of AI, the need for structured, accessible, and domain‑rich data has become critical. Cegal’s combined industry software, deep energy expertise, AI capabilities, and data expertise enables organisations to structure and prepare their data.

“Business value truly accelerates when you combine generic AI technology with deep domain expertise.” Ringås added. This is where Cegal stands out – bringing data, applications, and infrastructure together in the cloud, to help customers translate data and technology into measurable business value, resulting in significant IT cost reductions.

Continued global expansion

2025 marked Cegal’s 25th anniversary – a year also defined by a significant strengthening of its global footprint. The company expanded its presence across the UK, USA, Southeast Asia, and Australia, securing new contracts and deepening existing relationships with customers including Petronas, Equinor, Origin Energy, Harbour Energy, Interwell, and Å Energi.

Ringås continues, “2025 was the year our new strategy truly took hold. Cegal has entered 2026 with continued strong demand for its expertise in AI, cloud platforms, data management, and analytics, supported by increased efficiency gains and reduced IT costs for several major customers.”

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
