How AI is transforming, decarbonising and 'cleaning up' the grid
Increases in renewables are set to slash electric sector emissions. But to make this new reality possible, the grid must first undergo profound changes.
Stem creates innovative solutions that are changing the way energy is distributed and consumed. By combining advanced energy storage solutions with Athena, its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered analytics platform, Stem enables customers and partners to optimize energy use by automatically switching between battery power, onsite generation and grid power. Its solutions help enterprise customers benefit from a clean, adaptive energy infrastructure and achieve goals including expense reduction, resilience, sustainability, environmental and corporate responsibility, and innovation. Stem also offers full support for solar partners interested in adding storage to standalone, community or commercial solar projects, behind and in front of the meter.
