has been acquired by
Overview
- Demand Energy provides proven energy storage/distributed energy resource (“DER”) management software, hardware, integration, and asset management to the commercial and industrial (“C&I”) sector
- Demand Energy’s controls software is a leading solution for managing grid-side (front of meter) and C&I/residential (behind the meter) storage systems + DERs in an integrated cloud based open sourced software platform
Situation
- Demand Energy has a market advantage in that (i) it is a first-mover in the fast and growing New York City market and (ii) its software platform can operate on both sides of the meter
- Several large corporates reached out to Demand Energy with interest in acquiring the company and its technology platform to operate in their energy storage deployments
- Cascadia was engaged by Demand Energy to pursue a full sale process to gauge market interest from domestic and international entities
Our Specialized Approach
- Cascadia Capital positioned Demand Energy around the sophistication of its technology platform as well as its first-mover barrier to entry in New York City, which is arguably the most challenging market to deploy and operate
- Cascadia marketed Demand Energy to key industry players that showed interest in both front and behind the meter energy storage applications
- After a competitive process, Demand Energy was acquired by Enel Green Power in Q1 of 2017
