Multiracial business people greeting each other with fist bump.

At Resource Innovations (RI), we know that success hinges on innovation, adaptability, and strategic growth. This is why we are not just responding to change—we’re driving it. Our Advisory Services are designed to help utilities, state and federal governments, and corporate organizations tackle their most pressing challenges. And now, with the acquisition of Cadeo, we’re taking our capabilities to new heights.

Strengthening Our Capabilities, Together  

This acquisition is a partnership rooted in purpose. Cadeo’s deep expertise in market transformation and emerging technologies perfectly aligns with RI’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions. With Cadeo, we’re enhancing our services to better help utility, government, and corporate clients navigate the rapidly evolving energy sector. According to a Rystad Energy report, $3 trillion will need to be invested globally by 2030 to modernize the grid and adopt new technologies. This partnership will ensure our clients are well-positioned to lead that charge.

Together with Cadeo, we are accelerating our research, planning, design, and data analytics capabilities—further expanding our ability to deliver impactful, data-driven insights. Our shared expertise in emerging technologies and building sciences strengthens our ability to guide clients through complex regulatory landscapes while promoting energy-efficient technologies. This combination is timely—IEA reports show that global energy efficiency improvements have the potential to reduce emissions by 40%, underscoring the importance of accelerating the adoption of advanced technologies.

Innovation with a Purpose

At RI, we believe innovation is most powerful when it’s purposeful. Cadeo’s track record in accelerating market adoption of energy-efficient technologies, particularly in homes and buildings, aligns perfectly with our mission. Our joint expertise bolsters our efforts to scale demand-side management (DSM) programs, helping utilities deliver energy savings and associated benefits to customers. A Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study found that DSM programs may reduce peak demand by 10 to 15%, resulting in cost savings and reduced emissions. Together, we’ll bridge the gap between new technologies, codes, and standards, driving both energy savings and positive environmental outcomes.

A Bright Future Ahead

As we integrate Cadeo’s resources, our mission remains clear: to transform the energy industry while making a real impact on climate change and equity. This acquisition represents a key milestone in our growth strategy, allowing us to deepen our influence across the energy sector. The IPCC recently highlighted that scaling clean energy solutions may reduce global warming by up to 1.5°C (34.7°F)—an urgent reminder that innovation and action are more critical than ever.

We’re excited about the future and eager to work with you on this journey. Together, we can stay ahead in energy markets with reliable research, actionable insights, and expert planning. Contact us today to explore how we can help you achieve your energy goals and thrive in a changing landscape.
