Power Communications

What Power Communications does

Power Communications is a privately held, New York–based strategic communications consultancy founded in 2003 that serves energy-sector clients exclusively. The firm offers a six-module service portfolio — Strategic Communications, Media Relations, Public Engagement, Crisis & Issues Management, Public Affairs & Advocacy, and Corporate Communications — delivered through a five-step Research–Strategize–Create–Engage–Optimize methodology. Its stated focus is helping energy companies (utilities, independent power producers, renewable developers, energy storage firms, and infrastructure operators) overcome community opposition, navigate permitting processes, counter activist campaigns, and communicate complex technical information to non-technical audiences.

The firm's underlying capability is human expert consulting rather than proprietary technology: it accumulates domain knowledge through research, message development, face-to-face community engagement, and rapid-response crisis work. No AI/ML platform, SaaS product, or technology stack is disclosed, and there is no mention of patents, certifications, or technology partnerships.

Power Communications generates revenue through professional services engagements — project-based work tied to communications milestones (permitting, hearings, crisis events) and ongoing retainer relationships — sold via direct enterprise engagement with energy-sector buyers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is presumably quote-based on scope and duration. The firm claims 65 clients served, 10 GWs of energy projects supported through approval, and operations across 30 states and countries over 20+ years of operation, with a current headcount of 1–10 employees. Ownership structure, funding history, and financial metrics are not publicly disclosed.
