Cadeo

Cadeo is an energy consulting firm that helps utilities and public agencies achieve their clean energy goals through creative market research, evaluation and policy analysis services. We help our clients understand the interaction of markets (size, structure, segments, trends, supply chains, distribution channels), technology (high efficiency, advanced manufacturing, novel materials, etc.) and policy (standards, programs, incentives, regulations) and how this impacts them. We conduct detailed expert interviews, collect primary data, and perform both qualitative and quantitative analysis to provide our clients with timely, insightful, and actionable recommendations and the ongoing guidance to implement them. Our team is driven by intellectual curiosity—a desire to learn how and why things happen the way they do—in markets, technologies, and policy. We pride ourselves on discovering and communicating the key narrative that underpins our market research and policy analysis engagements. While we embody years of experience in energy efficiency market and policy analysis, we believe our honest appreciation for what we don't already know and a thoughtful strategy for putting the right questions to the right people is what sets us apart. We do our best work during engagements that require creative methods for finding answers to difficult questions, questions that take us off the beaten path. We believe the most valuable insights, the ones that illuminate the nuanced market dynamics behind our clients' most vexing problems, are typically found where others aren't looking.
