Software-powered Clean Energy Marketplace: 529,000 Buildings with a Positive ROI — Kevin Berkemeyer, Co-founder and CEO of Station A

Led by CEO Kevin Berkemeyer, Station A derives tangible energy savings estimates from complex data analysis of non-residential buildings in the US, enabling a two-sided marketplace in which building owners can simply access cost-saving clean energy options from leading providers. To learn more visit their website.

Below are two excerpts from the podcast.

Kevin described Station A's business saying, "Station A is a software-powered clean energy marketplace. Our mission is to provide ultimate transparency, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness for anyone to adopt clean energy technologies. More specifically, we look to facilitate solar, solar + battery, or solely battery deployments for building owners. After simply providing an address, we provide building owners with data-driven clean energy options and allow them to then secure a quote from our marketplace of approximately 2,000 providers. Station A has a somewhat unique history as the company started as a software unit within NRG, where we worked with building owners to identify what form of clean energy to adopt and then whom to work with to build it out. Station A was spun out of NRG in 2018 with the mission of more broadly bringing this project identification and matching capability to the market."

Kevin highlighted the scale and opportunity for energy and dollar savings within the built environment saying, "Our modeling estimates that 592,000 buildings within the United States would have positive bill savings with aggregate savings of more than $14 billion a year. Ultimately, the goal of this process was to flip the somewhat strange data dynamic, where traditionally the clean energy provider has to request data from the building owner to then be able to provide a pitch with projected savings. Instead, we enable those providers to show up with a comprehensive estimate of building savings without having to make that data request."
