What PowerHQ does

PowerHQ is the trade name of Blitz Ventures Inc., a Delaware LLC headquartered at 1601 Bryan Street, Suite 900, Dallas, TX, founded in 2016 by the team behind the EnergyBot consumer energy marketplace. The company operates a retail energy commerce infrastructure platform that enables platforms, developers, energy brokers, and energy suppliers to monetize electricity shopping, enrollment, and management across all US deregulated markets (ERCOT/Texas, PJM states, NYISO, ISO-NE). Its core technology is a standardized GraphQL Retail Energy API exposing plan data, real-time pricing from 30+ supplier integrations, service territory validation, utility lookups by ZIP/address/ESID, usage history and forecast, bill estimation, and a hosted checkout that handles contracts, eSign, credit evaluation, and downstream fulfillment. The architecture abstracts away fragmented supplier-specific integrations and state-by-state regulatory compliance behind a single integration point, with Smart Meter Texas integration for interval usage data and SOC2 Type II certification covering the enrollment experience.

The product surface is organized around four buyer personas: (1) Platforms and Digital Publishers use the Whitelabel Marketplace, a fully branded energy shopping experience embedded via secure iframe on partner domains; (2) Developers and SaaS Builders consume the Energy Commerce API to build shopping, enrollment, and management features directly into their applications; (3) Energy Brokers use Broker Ops (currently in development) to quote, compare, enroll, and manage renewals across 100+ providers from a single dashboard; (4) Energy Providers use Plan Distribution to list plans across PowerHQ's marketplace network of 15+ residential partner sites, or deploy the Whitelabel Digital Experience on their own brand. PowerHQ monetizes primarily through supplier commissions on completed enrollments and a small per-transaction enrollment fee, with partners receiving $0 upfront cost plus a flat payout per residential enrollment and residual commissions on commercial accounts. The company holds electric and gas broker licenses across all major US deregulated jurisdictions plus 10 additional states, and reports a 87% order success rate from placed to completed enrollments with access to 48% of Texas digital SMB energy shopping traffic.

3. Partner Revenue Share: Partners receive flat payout per completed residential enrollment and residual commissions for commercial enrollments as customers stay enrolled.

Direct peers

• Enode: Enode offers a unified API for energy devices and utilities (EVs, batteries, solar, grid data). It overlaps with PowerHQ's developer-facing API strategy and target customer (energy-adjacent app developers), though Enode is more focused on DER and EV orchestration.
• UtilityAPI: UtilityAPI provides standardized energy data and utility account access APIs for solar, storage, and energy apps. It competes most directly with PowerHQ's developer-facing API product and serves overlapping customer segments (developers, SaaS builders, solar installers).
• EnergyBot: EnergyBot is the predecessor brand of PowerHQ (same Blitz Ventures team). The two share supplier relationships and core marketplace infrastructure, making EnergyBot a directly comparable retail electricity marketplace for residential and SMB customers in deregulated states.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadia: Arcadia is a larger energy data platform serving utilities, DER operators, and enterprise customers with grid data and customer energy management. It is a broader incumbent that overlaps with PowerHQ on energy data, utility account access, and developer APIs.
• Uplight: Uplight is an established energy software platform providing customer engagement, DER management, and energy retail solutions to utilities. It is a broader incumbent with overlapping capabilities in energy retail infrastructure and utility customer management.
• EnergySage: EnergySage is a broader incumbent solar and energy shopping marketplace. While its core focus is solar, it overlaps with PowerHQ on energy shopping infrastructure, customer education, and marketplace-driven lead generation for installers and providers.

Regional players

• Pick Energy: Pick Energy is a deregulated-state electricity comparison marketplace (notably Texas) operating in a similar space to PowerHQ's whitelabel marketplace, though it is a consumer-facing site rather than an embedded infrastructure platform.
• SaveOnEnergy: SaveOnEnergy is a multi-state electricity and gas comparison marketplace serving deregulated markets. It is a partner in PowerHQ's marketplace network (displayed on PowerHQ's site) but also operates as a regional competitor for end-customer traffic.
• ComparePower: ComparePower is a Texas-focused electricity comparison marketplace serving residential and SMB customers. It competes in the same ERCOT retail energy shopping traffic that PowerHQ distributes to via its partner network.
• Choose Texas Power: Choose Texas Power is an ERCOT-focused electricity shopping and education platform. It is listed as a PowerHQ partner but operates a comparable marketplace for Texas residential and SMB electricity shoppers.
