Bottom line
Arcadia is an enterprise energy intelligence platform that unifies utility data, validates and pays utility invoices, supports energy procurement, and produces audit-ready emissions reporting. It reports 1,500+ enterprise customers, 4.5M meters under management, $100B in utility spend under management and $30B in utility payments processed annually. Pricing is quote-based and not published. Fit is strongest for multi-site enterprises with dedicated energy, finance and sustainability teams.
Frequently asked questions
What does Arcadia actually do?
Arcadia is an energy intelligence platform for enterprises. It consolidates utility accounts into one data model, validates and pays utility invoices, supports energy procurement aligned to risk tolerance, and produces emissions data for reporting. Arcadia reports 1,500+ enterprise customers, 4.5M meters under management, $100B in utility spend under management and $30B in utility payments processed annually.
How much does Arcadia cost?
Arcadia does not publish pricing. The vendor site routes buyers to a demo request rather than a price page, so contracts are quoted per enterprise; no list price, seat tiers or add-on pricing appear on the pages reviewed. Expect an enterprise agreement rather than a per-seat self-serve purchase, plus a scoping process before any number is given.
Is Arcadia SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified?
Arcadia's security page documents HTTPS/TLS 1.2 in transit, one-way hashed passwords, and AWS KMS encryption of utility credentials with decryption logging. It does not claim SOC 2 or ISO 27001 for Arcadia itself: SOC 2 and PCI Level 1 are attributed to payment partners Stripe and Plaid, and ISO 27001 and SOC 2 to AWS's physical infrastructure. Treat Arcadia's own certifications as unconfirmed.
What AI capabilities does Arcadia provide?
Vendor pages describe AI-powered analytics and advanced AI algorithms that standardize diverse utility data inputs, fill data gaps and reconcile anomalies, alongside analytics for cost modelling, forecasting and scenario simulation. Nothing is published about which models are used, whether customers can bring their own model key, or whether AI actions are logged and exportable.
Who is Arcadia best suited for?
Multi-site enterprises with substantial utility spend across multiple markets, where finance, operations and sustainability teams must agree on one source of truth. It is less suitable for single-site businesses or buyers wanting a self-serve product with no advisory or onboarding involvement, and community solar services for individuals now sit with Perch Energy.
