The Problem

Diesel is bleeding your business dry. Spoilage is finishing the job.

Across emerging markets, businesses face the same three-way squeeze:

4–6 hrs
Grid power per day in many markets

The rest comes from diesel — expensive, polluting, and failure-prone.

30–50%
Of fresh produce lost before sale

Only 5% of fresh produce in Africa enters a cold chain. Billions lost to spoilage yearly.

30–50%
Higher energy costs vs solar

Diesel-powered operations can't compete in export markets on cost.

What We Deploy

One installation. One contract. Power and cold storage together.

Most providers sell you solar OR cold storage. We deliver both as a single integrated service — designed, installed, owned, and maintained by us.

☀️

Solar PV

250 kW to 1.5 MW per site. Rooftop or ground-mount, sized to your actual load.

🔋

Battery Storage

100–500 kWh battery systems for night operations, backup, and peak shaving.

❄️

Cold Storage

10–50 MT cold rooms for fresh produce, fish, meat, dairy, vaccines, and pharma.

📡

IoT Monitoring

Temperature, output, and uptime tracked remotely 24/7 with predictive maintenance.

Typical customer: saves $30,000–60,000 per year in energy costs while eliminating diesel downtime and spoilage losses.

Cold Chain Critical

Vaccine & Pharmacy Cold Chain

Temperature-guaranteed storage for vaccines, insulin, and medicines. Pharma distributors, warehouses, and pharmacy networks in any market with unreliable power.

Cold Chain Critical

Fresh Produce, Fish & Meat

Pre-cooling and cold rooms that cut the 30–50% post-harvest losses faced by farmers, processors, and exporters.

Cold Chain Critical

Fresh Cut Flowers for Export

Unbroken cold chain from farm to airport — the difference between premium export prices and rejected shipments for flower growers and exporters.

Power Intensive

Mining Camps & Remote Operations

Off-grid solar generation for camps and facilities far from reliable grid supply — diesel displacement at scale.

Power Intensive

About Us

Founded in Ontario. Built for everywhere the grid falls short.

Frontières Bay Energies was founded in 2018 in Ontario, Canada, as a trusted partner for renewable energy solutions in energy-scarce regions.

We started with off-grid energy audits and portable solar equipment — deploying 100+ systems across Africa through distributor partners. Today we are building an integrated solar + cold chain Energy-as-a-Service platform, bringing reliable power and refrigeration to the businesses that need them most, with no upfront capital required from the customer.

Our first EaaS deployments launch in Africa; the model is built to travel anywhere diesel dependence and cold chain gaps hold businesses back — including South America and the Caribbean.

Why customers choose us

  • Since 2018 — proven off-grid audit methodology
  • 100+ deployments — real systems in the field, not slideware
  • Integrated — power + cold chain in one contract
  • Zero CAPEX — we own the equipment, you pay monthly
  • Global by design — Africa, South America, Caribbean
