What Cadeo does

Cadeo Group is a Washington, D.C.-based clean energy consulting firm founded in 2014, operating in the energy efficiency and demand-side management (DSM) sector. The firm served utilities and energy providers, providing advisory and implementation support for energy efficiency programs, though specific product lines, technology platforms, and service offerings are not detailed in the available source material. Cadeo's website (cadeogroup.com) is referenced but no detailed product, technology stack, or platform architecture information is disclosed in the inputs.

In March 2026, Cadeo Group was acquired by Resource Innovations, a women-led provider of end-to-end energy transformation software and services that manages 800+ active energy programs for 205 clients globally. Following the acquisition, Cadeo ceased to operate as an independent entity; its former CEO Harrison Grubbs, who brought over 16 years of prior experience at CLEAResult, transitioned to VP, Growth Solutions at CLEAResult. No information is available regarding Cadeo's pre-acquisition revenue model, pricing structure, customer contracts, or financial history. The acquisition appears to have been a talent and capability add for Resource Innovations, expanding its DSM and energy efficiency advisory bench rather than bringing in a distinct technology product.
