About
Stem is a clean energy storage and AI energy management platform that installs commercial and industrial battery storage systems and manages them with Athena, its AI-powered energy optimization software — enabling businesses, utilities, and renewable energy developers to reduce electricity costs through demand charge management, energy arbitrage, and participation in grid services markets. Listed on NYSE (NYSE: STEM) and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Stem generates approximately $200 million in annual revenue and has deployed over 1,000 MW of battery storage assets under management.\n\nStem's AI software platform Athena continuously monitors electricity prices, grid signals, and demand patterns to optimize when battery systems charge (typically during low-price periods or from solar generation) and discharge (during peak demand hours or when grid prices are high). For commercial and industrial customers, Athena minimizes demand charges (the component of utility bills based on peak power consumption) — a significant cost reduction opportunity for manufacturers, hospitals, and commercial real estate operators. For front-of-the-meter solar+storage projects, Athena optimizes dispatch for merchant electricity revenue.\n\nIn 2025, Stem competes in the commercial and industrial energy storage market against Fluence (Siemens-AES joint venture), Tesla Powerpack, Powin, and utility-side storage developers. The market has grown with IRA incentives making battery storage economics more attractive and with energy costs driving commercial interest in demand charge reduction. Stem faces competition from Tesla's integrated solar+storage offerings and from utilities' own storage programs. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing the Athena software-only model (managing third-party batteries not manufactured by Stem), expanding in the utility-scale solar+storage market, and growing internationally in Europe and Asia.
