Station A

What Station A does

Station A operates a two-sided clean energy marketplace connecting commercial real estate owners and tenants with vetted clean energy developers, EPCs, and financiers. The company's flagship platform combines Station A Portfolios, an AI-powered evaluation tool that ingests address lists and automatically assesses building suitability for rooftop solar, battery storage, EV charging, community solar, and PPA structures with patented ML models covering 1M+ commercial buildings, with the Station A Marketplace, which hosts RFQ and RFP workflows, collects competitive bids, and presents apples-to-apples comparisons for buyers.

The platform supports the full procurement lifecycle from portfolio evaluation through feasibility studies, competitive bidding, and proposal evaluation, with operational metrics including 160+ MW marketed, 233+ bids received (averaging 6 per project), 59% average bid spread, and reported savings averaging $650K per buyer. Notable customers include Prologis, Walmart, CBRE IM, Goldman Sachs, Wayfair, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, Meijer, Lineage Logistics, Hines, and Brooks Automation, spanning real estate, retail, logistics, financial services, hospitality, and manufacturing verticals.

Revenue derives from transaction fees on successful project matches (scaled to project size in KW), feasibility study fees (typically $5k-$10k per site), and marketplace listing fees that vary by project size. Portfolio evaluation is free for qualified buyers, and providers submit proposals free of charge, positioning the company as a take-rate marketplace. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, channel partnerships (notably Schneider Electric's Zeigo Activate), and technology integrations including Aurora Solar's HelioScope and Salesforce (via the embeddable Station A Card widget). The company is also piloting Distributed Capacity, a beta product aggregating modular battery storage into utility-grade fleets for hyperscaler data center loads on constrained grids.
