A San Francisco startup is looking to capitalize on the efforts by colleges, offices, and corporate campuses to reduce their carbon footprints.
Station A is an online marketplace that connects building operators with businesses offering solar paneling, battery storage and electric vehicle charging.
Chief executive officer Kevin Berkemeyer says the startup is like a “Zillow of clean energy.” And he argues that its central marketplace replaces the existing convoluted system for purchasing. “We’re mainly competing with the status quo,” he said. “At the end of the day, the customer’s interests are not well represented in the in the traditional process.”
Commercial buildings account for over a third of U.S. electricity usage, according to the Department of Energy. Several states have established targets for buildings to cut carbon emissions in coming decades; California’s plans calls for half of all commercial buildings to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030.
