Stem’s Athena® Receives 2023 Top Product of the Year Award from Environment + Energy Leader
Athena enables organizations to deploy and unlock value from clean energy assets at scale. Athena’s advanced AI and machine learning continuously analyze hundreds of real-time data features from solar, storage, and electric vehicle infrastructure assets against external factors like weather, utility rates, power market prices, and grid constraints. The cloud-native Athena platform is designed to model and predict the optimal real-time operation of each energy asset, and individually control them to store clean energy until it's needed and deliver it when most valuable. Athena AI-automation aims to empower organizations to use more renewable energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower net energy costs, and participate as a virtual power plant to support the grid. With more than 31 million run-time hours, Athena manages more than 500,000 energy IoT devices and has executed more than 48,000 automated grid dispatches over the past 12 months.
“Stem is honored by Environment + Energy Leader’s recognition of Athena’s proven ability to support businesses’ evolving renewable energy needs,” said Larsh Johnson, Chief Technology Officer at Stem. “With more than a decade of experience behind us, we understand the complexities of energy management and have designed Athena from the ground up with advanced AI technologies to simplify the clean energy value chain empowering business leaders to confidently deploy and monetize energy technologies while advancing their environmental goals.”
Sarah Roberts, Co-President of E+E Leader, emphasized the rigorous selection process, stating, “This year’s entrants had to surpass an exceptionally high bar to qualify for an award, thanks to a seasoned and discerning judging panel as well as stringent judging criteria.”
The outstanding capabilities and achievements of Athena captivated the attention of the program's distinguished panel of judges.
