However, Charles Carey, founder of Carey International Group (CIG), is hopeful that what he has created will change the trajectory of the renewable energy movement. A serial entrepreneur with years of experience in financing, project management, and leveraging cutting-edge technologies in hospitality and development, Carey and his team at CIG are at the forefront of both the AI and the Green Revolutions.
“I wanted to leverage our expertise and project development and finance to help supply the world with green energy,” Carey explained to The Los Angeles Tribune. To achieve this, CIG combines the power of AI with innovative steps forward in renewable energy — from solar manufacturing to wind power.
Tapping into a rapidly growing market
The popularity of renewable energy sources has surged in recent years, thanks in part to companies such as CIG bringing innovative solutions to the table. Currently, 13% of our energy comes from renewable sources in the United States, and that number is growing. Globally, renewable energy growth is set to increase by two and a half times by 2030.
Through CIG Renewables, the company provides complete development and asset management of renewable and sustainable projects. “We have a goal of having 5 GW of renewable power in our portfolio by 2027,” says Carey.
CIG has been working to acquire, develop, and fund a wide range of renewable energy projects to meet its wide-reaching goal. The company currently has six solar projects in its pipeline, all located in Texas. While each project’s exact location and in-depth details are subject to a non-disclosure agreement, CIG has shared that through these initiatives and others, it is at 3.498 GWs of renewable power — very close to reaching its 2027 goal.
The company’s development projects, including its new exclusive residential community Magnifica in Central Florida, are built with sustainability and renewable resources as a top priority. Connecting sustainability efforts with beautiful design and sound project management approaches, CIG is helping to usher in a new era of development and community living.
“It starts with quality and eco-friendly design,” Carey said in Lux Review magazine. “We also adhere to the best, most sustainable building practices and incorporate renewable energy into all of our builds. The idea is to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible.”
Leveraging AI technology
One of the most significant game-changers in the race toward sustainability has been the rise and evolution of AI technology. AI is playing an increasingly important role in environmentally sound development and renewable energy projects, allowing for more efficiency and speed in project roll-out and management.
AI is extensively utilized in the production of solar panels, namely for quality control and scanning for product errors. Robotics and automation ensure that each panel meets the standards expected by CIG, saves time for employees, and saves manufacturing companies money on personnel.
In addition, AI is useful for resource management. For example, complex algorithms are able to predict water shortages, detect leaks, and optimize the use of solar panels and EV car chargers.
However, AI also has a customer service component that interests Carey and his team. CIG has a large client base in the hospitality industry, and they have seen AI-driven Guest Intelligence Systems significantly improve guest experience, comfort, and convenience.
“We are leveraging technology for service excellence,” says Carey. AI technology can be seen in the hospitality space, and it includes everything from personalized recommendations based on guest preferences to dynamic revenue management.
As AI technology and sustainability simultaneously evolve, companies with widely diversified portfolios, such as CIG, are learning how to use both to bring people a better way of life and better quality service, from developments to hotel stays to solar panels.
Leveraging technology in sustainability initiatives and renewable energy management is not only a catalyst for progress but also a shift towards a greener future. Through AI algorithms, smart grids, and cutting-edge renewable energy resources, CIG is part of a greater plan for sustainability.
By staying at the forefront of technological advancements and the evolution of AI, Carey and his team are enhancing our current capabilities in development, energy efficiency, and the building of the next generation of neighborhoods. The future of energy, development, and community is here, and CIG is driving a technology-powered commitment toward a better tomorrow.
