February 11, 2026 - This article explains how Budderfly, backed by about $1 billion in funding, is expanding its energy-as-a-service model to help smaller businesses cut energy costs and reduce carbon emissions by installing and managing efficiency upgrades and modern systems for its clients. 

*"Budderfly helps smaller businesses cut energy use and costs through an energy-as-a-service model that turns efficiency upgrades into recurring savings. Founded in 2007, the company drew the attention of private equity firm Partners Group, which took a majority stake in 2022 and committed more than $500 million in additional growth capital. According to Subbloie, Budderfly has raised over $1 billion since its founding and now employs just under 500 people. It serves 8,500 locations and reported revenues exceeding $250 million in 2025.*

*"We live in a world where energy is a scarce resource, scarcer today than it was 10 years ago," Subbloie says.*

*'"It does bad things to the air, and we waste about 30% of what we use. And yet we have all the technologies and capabilities to fix the problem."'*
