Company profile
researched Sep 2026InfraNergy is a clean energy and infrastructure company that develops distributed and utility-scale solar, battery storage and related power infrastructure, and operates software for energy management and virtual power plants (VPPs). The company describes three core business lines: Power & AI Datacenter (engineering, construction management and operations for megawatt-scale renewable and AI datacenter power systems); Government & Distributed Energy (design-build energy upgrades, distributed solar-plus-storage and mission-critical infrastructure for public sector and enterprise clients); and Grid & Technology Services (field services, utility operations and maintenance, and AI-driven energy management software including VPP development).
Its distributed generation offering aggregates customer-sited batteries charged by solar so that businesses and communities generate power onsite and provide grid services. The SolbloX VPP software automatically balances customer energy needs with grid stabilization and includes proprietary power trading functionality using AI analytics, enabling participation in programs run by power companies, wholesale energy markets and grid operators. In emerging markets, particularly Africa, the company focuses on hybrid solar-plus-battery microgrids for hospitals, schools and critical infrastructure, embedded generation for creditworthy commercial and industrial customers, community mini-grids developed with the World Bank and Nigeria's Rural Electrification Agency, embedded gas-to-power and independent power plant modernization, and grid-connected battery storage that can be paired with solar. It also provides project finance and transaction advisory work, including buy-side financial advisory and investor due diligence on utility-scale solar PV projects and power plant acquisitions.
Business model
InfraNergy combines project development, engineering and construction management, operations and maintenance, and software. It sells power under commercial agreements such as equipment leases and power purchase agreements requiring no upfront payment from creditworthy business clients, leveraging its position as owner and operator of power infrastructure; it also performs contracted construction management and federal design-build work, provides O&M services, and licenses/operates its SolbloX VPP and energy dashboard software.
Revenue sources described include power-as-a-service agreements (equipment leases and PPAs), contracted construction management and government contracts (for example a $147,000 U.S. Department of State contract for the U.S. Embassy Dakar), operations and maintenance services, grid services and VPP participation revenue, and project finance/advisory mandates.
Traction
Reported projects include construction management for three 27 MW solar farms (81 MW total) in Pennsylvania for AB CarVal, an ongoing $147,000 U.S. Department of State contract for a solar PV system upgrade and thermal imaging assessment at the U.S. Embassy in Dakar, 60+ distributed energy projects under operations and maintenance across Nigerian banks, schools and commercial facilities, a Pinal 30 MW hybrid project, FPL grid services, and a completed DOE SBIR Phase I virtual power plant project with Cal State University.
Latest developments
The company markets integrated solutions for the energy and AI era, including AI datacenter power systems, and has built Infranergy AI, a construction execution platform, on top of its DOE SBIR-backed energy software; its DOE-supported VPP platform completed Phase I and is being expanded.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history
Market position
The company presents itself as an integrated provider spanning utility-scale construction management, federal and distributed energy projects, and grid software, citing 3+ GW of construction management experience, 11 GW of project finance experience, and leadership drawn from NextEra Energy, Black & Veatch, the U.S. Navy and major utilities. In Africa it claims energy storage leadership, with professionals having managed more than 140 MW of battery energy storage systems in the U.S. on prior mandates.
Stated differentiators include a certified U.S. federal contractor status (SBD/MBE), Professional Engineers licensed in 30+ states, DOE SBIR-backed VPP and AI energy management software, combined owner/operator and project finance capability, and paired North American and African operating presence.
Technology
SolbloX is an AI-analytics-based virtual power plant and power trading platform that aggregates solar-charged batteries and balances customer loads against grid stabilization needs. Infranergy AI is an execution platform for managing construction, mobilizing contractors and tracking performance with real-time visibility, built on the company's DOE SBIR-backed energy software. An Energy Dashboard integrates onsite assets to display live energy, weather, yield and system data. The VPP platform was developed with U.S. Department of Energy SBIR backing in work with Cal State University, with Phase I completed.
Go-to-market
The company positions itself as a certified U.S. federal contractor (SBA Small Disadvantaged Business and MBE certified, CAGE code 96L06) to win government work, pairs this with utility and investment-fund relationships for utility-scale construction management, and uses online quote requests and system design/pricing, flexible payment, installation and O&M steps for commercial solar customers.
Government agencies (including the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Energy), utilities, investment funds, hyperscale data centers, and commercial and industrial clients; in Africa, banks, schools, hospitals, critical infrastructure providers and off-grid communities.
Geography
Headquarters and office at 3361 Fairlane Farms Road, Suite 1M, Wellington, Florida, with listed locations across West Palm Beach, Wellington and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Operations span North America, Africa and the Middle East, with active project activity concentrated in Nigeria and U.S. projects in Pennsylvania and Florida, plus diplomatic work in Senegal.
History
Founded in 2019, the company initially focused on developing solar and hybrid microgrid projects in Africa, primarily Nigeria, alongside project finance and advisory mandates, and has since expanded into U.S. utility-scale construction management, federal energy contracts and AI-related power infrastructure and software.
