About Consolidated Water Co. Ltd.
About Consolidated Water Co. Ltd.
Consolidated Water generated 35% of its 2025 consolidated revenue from Services, 26% from Retail water, 25% from Bulk water, and 14% from Manufacturing, operating desalination and water-treatment infrastructure across the Cayman Islands, The Bahamas, the United States, and the British Virgin Islands. The company's Cayman Water subsidiary holds an exclusive government-issued retail license to supply potable water to the Seven Mile Beach and West Bay areas of Grand Cayman, two of the territory's three most populated areas.
Consolidated Water's Bulk segment sells desalinated water under long-term contracts to government-owned utilities — the Water and Sewerage Corporation in The Bahamas through 90.9%-owned CW-Bahamas, and the Water Authority-Cayman through Ocean Conversion (Cayman) — while its Services segment, led by U.S. subsidiary PERC and Colorado-based Ramey Environmental Compliance, designs, builds, and operates water and wastewater infrastructure for third parties, including a 1.7-million-gallon-per-day desalination plant under development in Oahu, Hawaii. The Manufacturing segment, run through Florida-based Aerex, builds reverse-osmosis and filtration equipment sold to municipal and industrial customers, and the company holds a 50%-voting, 43.53%-equity stake in Ocean Conversion (BVI), which it accounts for under the equity method. The company operates ten water-production plants across the Cayman Islands, Bahamas, and British Virgin Islands totaling 27.2 million gallons per day of capacity, plus 97 U.S. water-treatment facilities where Consolidated Water serves as the certified operator in responsible charge.
Show full overview
Cayman Water's retail license — the source of 26% of 2025 revenue — has technically operated on an expired 2018 extension since that date, with the company paying a 7.5% royalty on retail revenue and continuing under the original 1990 license terms while negotiating a permanent replacement with regulator OfReg; a February 2025 concession preserved the status quo but a final new license remains unresolved. The Bulk segment carries a parallel counterparty concentration, since both of its long-term contracts run to sole government utilities — Bahamas' WSC and Grand Cayman's WAC — leaving roughly half of Consolidated Water's revenue tied to renewal and pricing decisions made by government counterparties rather than a diversified commercial customer base.
