What powerconnect.ai does

POWERCONNECT.AI is a Tampa, Florida-based, privately-held software company that builds a generative AI platform purpose-built for the energy and utility industry. The company was founded in 2023 and operates as POWERCONNECT.AI LLC, governed under Florida law. It was acquired by strategic operating parent BHC Global in 2025. The platform delivers 24/7 AI-powered customer service across chatbot, voice, agent-assist, self-service, knowledge retrieval, and analytics workflows, integrating with existing Customer Information Systems (CIS) and third-party utility systems via API and running on AWS infrastructure. The core technical differentiator is a proprietary AI Knowledge Center containing curated domain content on energy, water, and gas operations and customer service queries, layered on top of natural language processing and large language model capabilities.

The product portfolio is structured as an all-in-one contact-center AI suite comprising seven modules: AI Self Serve Advisor, AI Agent Assistant, AI Messaging, Smart Widget, AI-Powered Search, Analytics for AI, and the AI Knowledge Center. The company sells to enterprise utilities, water departments, and solar providers through a direct enterprise field-sales motion (Calendly demo booking, contact form) supplemented by channel partnerships, notably the Oracle Partner Ecosystem for co-selling and a formal integration with InvoiceCloud for combined AI-plus-payment workflows. Revenue is generated through SaaS subscriptions for platform access and professional services for API integration and implementation, with pricing on a quote-based enterprise model rather than publicly listed tiers.

As of the available data, the company has two named customers (Hillsborough County Water Resources Department and Arkansas Solar Power Inc.), has raised approximately $3.25 million in disclosed funding across three rounds in 2023–2024, employs 11–50 people, and reports no certifications, patents, awards, or regulatory actions. The management team is undisclosed in the source material, and revenue, headcount specifics, and detailed pricing are not publicly available.
