The Current State of Clean Energy in the Caribbean
The Caribbean is still heavily reliant on diesel and heavy fuel oil for power generation, with many nations sourcing up to 80-90% of their energy from these non-renewable sources. E-Finity aims to help change this by promoting cleaner, more cost-effective energy solutions that also reduce carbon emissions. The company is focused on educating the market about the advantages of transitioning to cleaner and more reliable energy sources.
E-Finity’s Role in Clean Energy Innovation
E-Finity has become a leader in implementing clean energy projects by designing and deploying microgrid solutions tailored to each client’s specific needs. These systems combine solar, battery storage, and microturbines to provide reliable, sustainable power that can withstand extreme weather conditions, such as Category 5 hurricanes, ensuring continuity even in the most challenging environments.
Key Projects and Partnerships
E-Finity has been involved in numerous projects across the Caribbean, including microgrid installations in the U.S. Virgin Islands in collaboration with the USVI Housing Authority and Jackson Development. The company has also provided clean energy solutions to major hotel brands, including Playa, Hilton, Marriott, Margaritaville, and Fortress Investments, helping these businesses reduce their reliance on traditional energy sources while improving sustainability.

Positive Responses and Cost Savings
The feedback from clients has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly in the hospitality industry, where energy costs are among the highest operational expenses. E-Finity’s microgrid systems have helped clients reduce their energy costs by as much as 50%, providing significant savings that can be reinvested into the business.
Typical Installations for Large Developments
For large resorts and developments, E-Finity’s typical installation involves a combination of microturbines, solar panels, and battery storage, customized based on the specific energy requirements of the property. This integrated approach ensures maximum efficiency and reliability, providing a cost-effective and sustainable power source.
Long-Term Energy Savings
E-Finity’s clean energy solutions offer substantial long-term savings for clients. Depending on the amount of renewable energy integrated into the microgrid, properties can expect energy cost reductions ranging from 30% to 90%. These savings not only make the projects financially viable but also align with broader sustainability goals.

Upcoming Projects and the Future of Clean Energy
E-Finity has an exciting pipeline of upcoming projects, including several hotels, resorts, and manufacturing facilities. Many of these projects will incorporate Combined Heating and Cooling (CHP) systems, which provide power, hot water, and air conditioning from a single energy source, enhancing both efficiency and sustainability.
Looking forward, E-Finity anticipates that more businesses in the Caribbean will adopt the “bring your own power” model, with clean energy microgrids becoming the standard for reliable, low-cost, and sustainable power. This shift is expected to significantly impact the region’s energy future, making it more resilient and environmentally friendly.
Through its innovative solutions and ongoing projects, E-Finity is helping to lead the Caribbean toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, one microgrid at a time.
