CADILLAC, Mich. — The city of Cadillac has selected Schneider Electric and energy-as-a-service (EaaS) provider Budderfly to modernize critical municipal infrastructure, lower energy costs, and improve resilience against power disruptions. Budderfly will invest approximately $4.4 million in the project, enabling infrastructure upgrades with no upfront cost to the city. Approved by the Cadillac City Council in late July, the project will deploy energy efficiency upgrades and distributed energy technologies across seven municipal facilities, including city hall and Cadillac’s wastewater treatment plant. Power outages alone cost the U.S. economy an estimated $150 billion annually, underscoring the need for resilient, local energy systems. “Through our Accelerating Resilient Infrastructure Initiative and collaboration with partners like Budderfly, we’re advancing energy technology and helping cities like Cadillac deploy critical solutions at speed, unlocking access to cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable energy systems.”
