CMC Energy Services (CMC), a leader in the energy conservation industry and a certified Women’s Business Enterprise, announced today the acquisition of Philadelphia-based Clean Markets.

Clean Markets is a leading market development firm expanding the U.S. market for energy efficiency and clean-energy technologies. This acquisition will result in the integration of two highly successful and prominent energy services companies and will create one of the largest women-owned energy conservation program management companies in the United States.

We are always looking for ways to provide exceptional customer engagement to our clients. This acquisition positions CMC to meet our clients' need to better serve their utility customers. When I first met Ellen Lutz, the founder of Clean Markets, I was impressed by her company's commitment to seeking new and innovative ways to reach utility customers and I knew it would be a good match for CMC.
