Bluestone Energy Services, LLC becomes the Commercial and Industrial Division of OpTerra Energy Services

Norwell, MA A division of Oakland, CA-based OpTerra Energy Services, Bluestone Energy Services, LLC, a leader in energy conservation, engineering and project development services for commercial and industrial clients, is formally rebranding itself as the Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Division of OpTerra Energy Services. The company follows other leading organizations under the OpTerra umbrella, including Chevron Energy Solutions, whose business and assets were acquired by OpTerra last year.

Founded in 1990, Bluestone Energy Services has established itself as a leader in energy conservation engineering and project development services for commercial and industrial customers across the country and is a preferred energy efficiency service provider for many leading utilities, including National Grid, Eversource, BG&E, Con Edison, and ComEd. The company was acquired in 2011 by the OpTerra group as part of its strategic expansion, designed to integrate market-leading energy efficiency service providers in order to provide a comprehensive set of energy conservation, renewable energy and combined heat and power generation solutions to public and private sector customers throughout the United States.

Bringing Bluestone under the OpTerra brand will allow its C&I division to utilize OpTerra’s 40 year legacy of advancing the sustainable energy economy. OpTerra’s C&I division will continue to be led out of its Norwell, Mass. office and provide customized turnkey energy efficiency services to ensure growth, longevity, and secure standing for customers in their respective markets.

Existing customers will continue to work with the same award-winning engineers and project managers across 27 field offices, while gaining access to a wide variety of energy efficiency and renewable resources throughout the country. 

“OpTerra has established itself as a leader in providing energy services across the country,” said Ryan Blair, president of the C&I Division of OpTerra. “By leveraging the robust support and increased capacity of the unified OpTerra organization, we are well-positioned to continue expanding in the U.S. while still providing the outstanding turnkey energy solutions that have been the hallmark of our success for more than 25 years.”

“We are excited to formally bring Bluestone Energy Services under the OpTerra brand,” said John Mahoney, chief executive officer of OpTerra.  “The combined depth and experience will enable OpTerra to further expand our offerings and solution set to our broad and diverse base of customers and partners. We look forward to significant growth from our C&I Division and continued success under our unified branding.”

OpTerra Energy Services is a national energy services company that partners with a variety of education, local government, commercial, industrial, and institutional organizations to implement comprehensive efficiency and sustainability solutions that save money, enhance safety, improve assets, and protect the environment. We have provided over $2 billion in energy savings over the past 40 years.
