We're building the data layer for the energy transition.
Derapi is a Portland-based developer API company building the shared data infrastructure for distributed energy software. One REST API for interconnect queues, AHJ permitting, irradiance, and grid capacity — maintained once, available to every team.
"Every energy software team deserves the same data access that only large utilities had internally."
DER penetration is accelerating — FERC interconnect queues now hold nearly 2,000 GW of capacity applications, most of it solar and storage. The software teams building the tools to process this load — site screening, fleet dispatch, load forecasting, VPP aggregation — are spending half their engineering time scraping portals and maintaining one-off data pipelines instead of building product. Derapi is the abstraction layer that fixes that. Angel-backed in 2025. Based in Portland, OR.

Stina Brock
CEO & Founder, Derapi
Before founding Derapi, Stina led developer platform engineering at a Portland-based energy software company that served utilities across the WECC interconnection. Her team built and maintained integrations into utility SCADA systems, interconnect queue feeds, and AHJ permit databases — work that exposed a consistent pattern: every solar EPC, every fleet operator, every DER aggregator was solving the same data access problem independently, and none of them were solving it well.
She founded Derapi in 2023 to build that shared data layer once — not once per customer. The goal is not to simplify the grid; it is to make the grid's data queryable by any development team, not just those with the budget for custom integrations.
The people building Derapi
Distributed systems background; previously built real-time data pipelines for grid operations software.
Manages licensed data agreements with irradiance providers, state PUC feeds, and utility interconnect data sources.
Owns docs, SDKs, and onboarding. Developer tools background; ensures the API is as easy to integrate as it is accurate.

Portland sits inside the Pacific Northwest's WECC/NWPP balancing area — the same grid territory Derapi's founding team spent years building utility integrations for. PGE and Pacific Power operate here; the region is an early mover on DER interconnect data standards.
