What Powergas does

Powergas S.r.l. is an Italian gas and electricity retailer founded in 2003 in Caserta, Campania, in response to the liberalization of the Italian gas market under the Decreto Letta. The company supplies natural gas and electricity to more than 30,000 active residential and small-business customers across 20 Italian regions and over 90 provinces, with its strongest concentration in Campania. Its product portfolio spans fixed-price plans locked for 12 months (Fix12 series for both gas and electricity), variable-price plans indexed to wholesale market benchmarks (PUN for electricity, PSV for gas), combined dual-fuel offers, and specialized products for condominiums, secondary spaces (Pertinenze), vulnerable customers under ARERA protection (Power Zero Gas Casa), and electric-vehicle owners (Wallbox financing). Underlying operations include a customer portal (Area Riservata), iOS and Android mobile applications, a digital payment service (Powergas Pay), and eleven owned physical retail locations plus a Powergas Point affiliation program recruiting real estate agencies, post offices, and phone shops as channel partners.

Powergas earns revenue primarily through subscription-style recurring billing: the spread between wholesale procurement cost and retail pricing, plus monthly commercialization fees ranging from €7.50 to €17.50 per fuel per month depending on plan tier. Online-exclusive "Web" offers carry lower fees but require direct debit payment, and all offers waive the deposit requirement (no deposito cauzionale). The company sells hardware (Wallbox EV chargers at €100 deposit plus €5.50/month installments over 24-36 months) and is constructing Powerhub Caserta, a 10,000+ sqm fuel station and e-mobility facility launched in 2025 covering EV charging, traditional fuels, hotel, restaurant, and automated car wash services.

The go-to-market motion is hybrid and multi-channel: direct field sales via agents visiting homes and workplaces, inside sales through a contact center (800 642 660 / 0823 16551), self-serve online activation through the website, and channel sales through the Powergas Point franchise network. Powergas is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, no parent company, and no subsidiary structure. The company obtained a B1.2 public credit rating from Cerved Rating Agency on May 6, 2026, confirming solvency standing, and maintains industry affiliations with Confindustria Caserta, Confesercenti Caserta, and A.R.T.E. (the Italian energy reseller and trader association).

Comparable to Powergas as a major incumbent with national reach, broader portfolio (including energy efficiency services), and significant resources for customer acquisition.

• Enel Energia: Enel Energia is the retail arm of Enel Group and the dominant Italian electricity and gas retailer with millions of customers and the broadest product portfolio. Comparable to Powergas as the primary incumbent competitor against which Powergas's customer acquisition and pricing must compete.

Others

Adjacent ecosystem player rather than a competitor, but relevant as a distribution/collection partner that supports Powergas's customer access model.

Direct peers
