Cascadia Capital is pleased to announce that its client Optimum Energy (“Optimum” or the “Company”), a global leader in HVAC optimization solutions, has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Bernhard Capital Partners (“Bernhard Capital”), an infrastructure and services-focused private equity management firm.
Founded in 2005, Optimum provides proprietary software solutions to optimize the energy consumption of HVAC systems to deliver significant electricity and water savings while reducing carbon emissions. Utilizing on-site, integrated control software, the Company supports a broad range of organizations around the world to continuously reduce energy consumption and ensure peak performance. Optimum’s advanced, patented technology is developed by industry-leading engineers and has an over 15-year track record of proven results, serving customers across five continents throughout pharmaceutical, higher education, healthcare, technology, hospitality and industrial end markets.
Optimum will continue to be led by President Larry Stapleton and the existing management team, while benefitting from the support of Bernhard Capital’s strategic partnership. Together they will look to expand Optimum’s impact and position itself as the world leader in intelligent optimization software solutions for large-scale HVAC systems, while enhancing its offerings and continuously innovating to help customers meet their financial and sustainability-focused goals.
“We are very pleased with the outcome of this partnership between two strategically aligned parties working together to accelerate the optimization of HVAC systems in large footprint buildings. This transaction will enable Optimum to further leverage the tailwinds of energy efficiency and building automation, driving global scaling of the business,” added Jamie Boyd, Managing Director at Cascadia Capital.
“Cascadia was an involved and resilient advisor, guiding us through this process, and provided exceptional advice to us during the transaction,” added Larry Stapleton, CEO of Optimum. “As experienced advisors, they demonstrated a deep understanding of our industry and business.”
This deal represents another successful transaction for the Cascadia Energy Transition & Climate Technology practice. Recent transactions include Keystone Tower System’s growth equity advisory, First Mode’s business combination advisory, and Pacific Power Group and Spectrum Control’s sell side advisory.

Cascadia Capital (“Cascadia”), an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced that it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Vancouver, Washington-based Pacific Power Group ("PPG"), a leading distributor of marine engines and power generators, in its acquisition by MSHS Group, a portfolio company of MPE Partners, a private equity firm focusing on lower middle market leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, and build-up investments.
Founded in 1958, Pacific Power Group is a leading product and parts sales and service provider of marine engines, power generators, commercial automatic transmissions, and new and remanufactured engines. Predominantly located along the Pacific Coast and Western U.S., PPG has recently established marine engine facilities on the Gulf Coast and has continued its long history of supplier relationships and providing customers a complete solution to their power needs.
“I am immensely proud of the company that our team has built, and how our technical expertise, excellent service, and commitment to values have allowed us to achieve competitive growth. I’m excited to work with MPE Partners, as their resources and expertise will support Pacific Power Group in its geographic expansion and in its products, parts, and services offerings,” said Silvio Piccini, CEO of Pacific Power Group. “We are grateful to Cascadia for being a trusted advisor, and their industry expertise and understanding of the competitive landscape proved greatly valuable in this complex transaction.”
The Pacific Power Group business will complement MSHS, a leading third-party maintenance, repair, and overhaul services provider for marine and power generation applications. PPG and MSHS offer similar products and services in the marine engine and power generation segments, and both companies have complementary supplier relationships. This acquisition will provide for a strong geographical presence on the U.S. West, East, and Gulf coasts along with expanded products, services, and end markets.
“Cascadia is honored to have represented Pacific Power Group and its shareholders,” added Jamie Boyd, Cascadia Managing Director and Head of the firm’s Energy Transition & Climate Tech practice. “We are very pleased with this partnership between two strategically aligned businesses working to provide turnkey power solutions, and we are looking forward to seeing the benefits of their combined innovation in technical and engineering capabilities and customer expansion.”

Cascadia Capital, an investment bank serving middle market clients globally, today announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to BTR Energy, a cleantech company enabling electric vehicles to interact with electricity markets, in receiving a growth equity investment from Caisse de dépot et placement du Québec (“CDPQ”), a global investment group and bp ventures. The joint investment between CDPQ and BP is the first of a new co-investment collaboration targeting ventures in the sustainable energy sector.
This first CDPQ-bp ventures co-investment, which included additional co-investors Clean Energy Fuels, Innovatus LP, and SineWave Ventures, will support BTR Energy in growing its platform to help support the decarbonisation of the transportation sector by using data to enable interactions between electric vehicles and electricity markets. Today, BTR Energy’s “Bridge” platform automates participation in low carbon fuels programs, like California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard, by connecting leading EV manufacturers, fleet operators, and charging station networks to renewable electricity generators. BTR Energy will use the proceeds from the investment to scale its existing operations and expand into new markets, including emerging clean fuels markets in Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe.
“Now more than ever, investors are directing capital toward innovations that will allow us to fight and adapt to climate change. CDPQ is delighted to collaborate with a world-class player such as bp ventures to invest in energy technologies and companies that are accelerating the transition toward a low-carbon economy,” said Geneviève Bouthillier, Managing Director, Private Mid-Market Companies and Stewardship Investing at CDPQ. “Our co-investment in BTR Energy is a good example of what we aim to do with bp ventures: invest in promising companies that have demonstrated their capability to have a concrete impact, in order to propel their growth.”
Nacho Gimenez, Managing partner at bp ventures, said, “BTR Energy is exactly the type of game-changing business we look to invest in at bp ventures. They identified a value chain that could increase the clean electricity used in EV charging, developed an innovative solution to make it work and successfully deployed it. We welcome BTR Energy to our portfolio and look forward to working with the team, exploring ways to expand the company outside of its Californian base. It’s also our first investment with CDPQ, and an exciting first step for a collaboration that through shared knowledge and opportunities will help us continue to accelerate innovation across the entire energy spectrum.”
“Our partnership with bp ventures and CDPQ will enable us to strengthen our core capabilities, expand into new low-carbon fuels markets in North America and Europe, and launch new, proprietary products designed to further reduce emissions by directly engaging EV drivers. Nearly a dozen EV manufacturers participate in programs like California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard through the BTR Energy platform because we have a unique, expert understanding of the regulations and requirements, and because we provide a single, automated point of access to multiple programs,” said Jack Barrow, Chief Executive Officer, BTR Energy. “With this investment, we will continue to outperform in these markets while also committing resources to support new electrification initiatives led by our clients.”
“Congratulations to the team at BTR Energy – this impressive investment partnership is a testament to the efficacy of the BTR technology platform, the team and the incredible opportunity in front of them.

Cascadia Capital is pleased to announce that its client Optimum Energy (“Optimum” or the “Company”), a global leader in HVAC optimization solutions, has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Bernhard Capital Partners (“Bernhard Capital”), an infrastructure and services-focused private equity management firm.
Founded in 2005, Optimum provides proprietary software solutions to optimize the energy consumption of HVAC systems to deliver significant electricity and water savings while reducing carbon emissions. Utilizing on-site, integrated control software, the Company supports a broad range of organizations around the world to continuously reduce energy consumption and ensure peak performance. Optimum’s advanced, patented technology is developed by industry-leading engineers and has an over 15-year track record of proven results, serving customers across five continents throughout pharmaceutical, higher education, healthcare, technology, hospitality and industrial end markets.
Optimum will continue to be led by President Larry Stapleton and the existing management team, while benefitting from the support of Bernhard Capital’s strategic partnership. Together they will look to expand Optimum’s impact and position itself as the world leader in intelligent optimization software solutions for large-scale HVAC systems, while enhancing its offerings and continuously innovating to help customers meet their financial and sustainability-focused goals.
“We are very pleased with the outcome of this partnership between two strategically aligned parties working together to accelerate the optimization of HVAC systems in large footprint buildings. This transaction will enable Optimum to further leverage the tailwinds of energy efficiency and building automation, driving global scaling of the business,” added Jamie Boyd, Managing Director at Cascadia Capital.
“Cascadia was an involved and resilient advisor, guiding us through this process, and provided exceptional advice to us during the transaction,” added Larry Stapleton, CEO of Optimum. “As experienced advisors, they demonstrated a deep understanding of our industry and business.”
This deal represents another successful transaction for the Cascadia Energy Transition & Climate Technology practice. Recent transactions include Keystone Tower System’s growth equity advisory, First Mode’s business combination advisory, and Pacific Power Group and Spectrum Control’s sell side advisory.
