CEPM

What CEPM does

CEPM (Consorcio Energético Punta Cana - Macao, S.A.) is a vertically integrated electricity utility founded in 1992 and headquartered in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The company operates under an exclusive government concession covering the eastern Dominican Republic — Bávaro, Bayahibe, Verón, Punta Cana, Macao, Miches, and Uvero Alto — which encompasses the country's primary tourism corridor. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary CEB (Compañía de Electricidad de Bayahibe), CEPM extends operations into the Bayahibe-La Romana region. The company serves more than 47,000 customers, including 65%+ of Dominican Republic hotel energy capacity across 21 international hotel chains, MiPymes (small and medium businesses), and residential customers. Its installed base comprises 200 MW of conventional generation capacity, 270 MWp of solar PV across 37 projects, and 150+ MWh of battery energy storage (BESS), supported by the Caribbean's largest satellite regasification facility (1,777 cubic meters).

Revenue is generated across five primary streams: (1) usage-based electricity distribution and commercialization via kWh billing through smart meters (prepaid and postpaid); (2) subscription-based thermal energy services covering 29,000+ hotel rooms; (3) recurring renewable energy PPAs with hotels contracted at 474,340 MWh over 15 years; (4) usage-based electric-vehicle charging through the Evergo network; and (5) equipment-financing revenue via CEPM Credi-Simple. Telecommunications services through smart-grid fiber provide an additional subscription stream. Tariffs for core electricity are regulated; thermal, renewable, and EV pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The technology stack combines the Quatro Systems advanced metering infrastructure platform — the only 100% smart-meter deployment among Dominican Republic distributors — with dedicated field account management for enterprise hotel and industrial clients, and a virtual office / mobile app for residential self-service. Distribution loss rate of 3.23% (lowest nationally) and accumulated interruption time of 3.66 hours in 2021 reflect operational performance exceeding peers. CEPM is pursuing a US$1 billion CEPM Zero decarbonization roadmap targeting net-zero emissions by 2030 through expanded renewable generation, battery storage, and green hydrogen integration. Ownership rests with InterEnergy Group Ltd., a multinational energy holding company led by Rolando González Bunster.
