History
Founded in 1994 by Darin Cook and Rich Blaser in Gainesville, Florida, Infinite Energy began as a wholesale natural gas supplier catering to utilities and industrial customers in Florida. The company transitioned into retail markets following deregulation, which enabled businesses to select their energy providers.
After changes in market regulations, Infinite Energy entered Georgia’s retail natural gas sector and remains one of the two original providers still operating there. By 2005, the company expanded its services into New Jersey and introduced electricity offerings in Texas starting in 2010. Its retail presence grew further with entry into Ohio’s market in 2019.
With a workforce exceeding 300 employees, Infinite Energy attracted notice in 2016 by increasing its minimum wage to $15 per hour. The company has consistently been honored by Florida Trend as one of the top workplaces within Florida. On a national level, Inc. Magazine included Infinite Energy among the best workplaces in the United States in 2018, and Outside Magazine has repeatedly recognized its dedication to employee wellness.
Infinite Energy Center
In 2015, Infinite Energy secured a 20-year agreement worth $18 million for naming rights to the Gwinnett Center located in Duluth, Georgia, near Atlanta. The venue was subsequently renamed the Infinite Energy Center.
The facility is managed by the Gwinnett Convention and Visitors Bureau and features a 13,000-seat arena, a 50,000-square-foot exhibition hall, a ballroom measuring 21,600 square feet, and a theater with 708 seats. It serves as home to the ECHL’s Atlanta Gladiators and the National League Lacrosse’s Georgia Swarm and hosts a variety of events including concerts, trade shows, conventions, and meetings.
That same year, Infinite Energy pledged to contribute $5 annually to Gwinnett County schools for each local customer served, demonstrating its commitment to supporting the community.
