WHO WE ARE
Cascade Energy is a consulting firm focused on improving the energy efficiency of the most energy-intensive sector of our economy – industrial.
Cascadians are optimists, tinkerers, creators, strategists, investigators, relators, learners, and coaches looking for simple and creative ways to save energy. Through projects, programs, technology, and training, we are tackling energy waste, and benefiting people, the planet, and the economy.

Our Mission
Making industrial energy efficiency happen in smart, measurable, and sustained ways.
Our project engineers, software developers, account managers, program specialists, graphic designers, HR professionals, and many more are all connected by one idea: helping the industrial sector run more efficiently by reducing energy waste and unnecessary spend.
The potential to decrease industrial energy usage is massive, and the urgency to do so has never been more real. In 2020, the industrial sector was responsible for 33% of total U.S. energy consumption. The International Energy Agency has called out energy efficiency in the industrial sector as a key tenet of its Net Zero by 2050 report. Increasingly, our industrial and utility clients are setting ambitious clean energy goals in recognition of the urgency of climate action. We are proud to be a part of the solution.
At Cascade, we value sustainability in the biggest possible sense – helping the world become a better place. We are doing our part to fight climate change, for us and for future generations.

Achieving savings through innovation and collaboration
Working with our program partners at the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation (VEIC), Cascade launched the first Wastewater Energy Coaching (WEC) cohort in western New York in 2018 with nine water resource recovery facilities participating. This program, sponsored by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), is aimed at bringing strategic energy management (SEM) concepts and organizational awareness to the wastewater industry in New York.
NYSERDA’s program includes one half-day and five full-day workshops, full-day “treasure hunts” for each participant, energy modeling to track savings, and technical and organizational coaching and assistance.
Midway through the engagement, several of the participants came together to share their thoughts about the experience in a short video.
