Our take
Arcadia believes that without access to clear and actionable consumer data, companies’ climate plans are likely to prove fruitless. Fortunately, data is something Arcadia has an abundance of, with access to 95% of US utility accounts.
The company actually started with a B2C model, matching residents with suitable renewable energy sources based on their utility bill data, then shifted into community solar projects. Now armed with a high volume of consensually-shared customer data, Arcadia’s B2B API platform, Arc, allows companies to access its datasets in order to optimize their offerings.
The platform is used by companies such as electric vehicle charging network EVgo, Ford, Oracle, and Airbnb. Its popularity and growth potential have helped Arcadia win major investment, which continues to support the further development of its products and help to accelerate its community solar business.
