Cascade Energy, Inc. brings unrivaled expertise to industrial energy efficiency, offering utilities and facilities novel ways to meet their sustainability, emission reduction, decarbonization and/or energy savings goals.

The journey to diversifying the Cascade Energy board has been years in the making. Since the company’s inception in 1993, the board has been internal-only, made up of the original Cascade founders. The addition of the first two independent board members brings the total number of board members to six. Furthermore, this fulfills a key 2022 corporate goal: Meaningfully diversify our Board of Directors. “We know that we will benefit greatly from the addition of independent directors. They bring very different backgrounds and perspectives, along with a wealth of experience and knowledge that will surely make us better,” says Dan Brown, CEO. “They will also guide our biggest decisions and improve our performance through their objective view of our market, our operations, and our customers.”
