Forum Asset Management Acquires Subterra Renewables, Expanding its Position in Sustainable Infrastructure
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 30, 2026 / Forum Asset Management ("Forum") is pleased to announce the acquisition of Subterra Renewables ("Subterra"), a leading developer and manager of geo-exchange heating and cooling (geothermal) systems for real estate developers and owners in North America.
Subterra's platform owns and operates a growing portfolio of geothermal systems serving thousands of residential units across Ontario. Subterra delivers heating and cooling infrastructure under its energy-as-a-service utility model, providing building owners with a reliable, no-capital, low-carbon alternative to conventional systems.
Through this transaction, Forum has acquired Subterra's assets, operations and employees. The transaction creates a fully integrated business under Forum's ownership, consolidating management, technical expertise and operating infrastructure into a single platform better positioned to service its growing customer base and scale across new and existing markets. The business will continue operating under the Subterra Renewables brand.
"The case for geothermal has been clear to us for years - lower lifecycle costs, meaningful decarbonization, and real protection against energy price volatility," said Rob Kaplan, Partner, Private Equity at Forum Asset Management. "This is a major step towards making low-carbon solutions more accessible and available to users across the country. We are excited to continue working with the Subterra team to expand the platform."
This acquisition reinforces Forum's continued strategic commitment to scalable, innovative sustainable infrastructure solutions. Across its real estate business, Forum has integrated geothermal systems in several of its purpose-built properties, including in Toronto and Ottawa.
The transaction expands Forum's sustainable infrastructure portfolio, building on its investments in rooftop solar, energy solutions and water savings businesses for residential and commercial real estate customers across Canada.
