Why collaborate with PowerQ

Local knowledge in every market via local energy experts

A local expert in every European energy market

Every European energy market has its own rules, suppliers and prices. That is why we work with local partners, they are energy advisers who know their market in great detail. In this way, you get local knowledge everywhere and still have one point of contact: PowerQ.

You grant us the mandate, we do the work

With a mandate, you give us permission to buy energy on your behalf, together with clear agreements on how we do that. We take energy procurement off your hands so that you can focus on your core business. We also negotiate and manage your supply contracts, check invoices and deliver your energy reports.

Our approach

From strategy to reporting: five phases, one accountable point of contact

PowerQ does not tie energy advice to the sale of energy or software. Our approach has five phases, and we agree per assignment what we do for you.

01

Strategy

We start with a conversation about your operational reality: sites, contracts, sustainability obligations, governance. Tariffs come later. Result: a validated portfolio overview, risk profile and mandate.

02

Procurement

We run tenders on your behalf in every European market where you operate: fixed, click, structured or via a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA), depending on what fits your mandate. Result: a documented supplier choice.

03

Contracting

One master agreement with PowerQ covers the whole; your entities remain the supplier's counterparty per country, as regulation requires. The workload and coordination sit with us; you keep one point of contact.

04

Operations

Invoice control, mandate adjustments and supplier performance: operational work that finance, facilities and ESG do not have to coordinate themselves. Result: verified invoices, up-to-date budgets and a traceable decision trail.

05

Reporting

Consumption and origin data, guarantees of origin (GOs) and consolidated Scope 2 using the market-based and location-based method, across your entire European portfolio, all in PowerQ Connect.

“Twenty years ago, nobody accepted that a hospital or a factory could enter the energy market. We changed that in the Netherlands. Now we are doing it across Europe.”
Loek Hulsbergen Founder, PowerQ International

PowerQ Connect · energy management platform

All your data visible in one place

For most organisations, energy information sits scattered: a separate intermediary per country, spreadsheets per entity, reports in formats that do not line up. PowerQ Connect, the PowerQ platform, brings it together: procurement, invoice control, mandate management, risk position and energy data, for every European entity in one place. Energy managers, finance and ESG look at the same numbers. PowerQ Connect is the platform behind every service we provide.

Coordinated approach

Independent by design

How we earn, explained

The way we are paid never decides which supplier you get

We work for the long-term interest of your organisation, not for a transaction. That starts with choosing clients we can serve well, and continues with selecting the suppliers that fit those clients: on price, on terms, on security of supply, on the way they behave when the market turns.
How PowerQ earns differs per service and per market, and we put it in writing before you sign. What never differs is the rule behind it: our income does not steer our advice.

Beyond consulting

Advice that stays, not a report that leaves

Consultancies deliver a strategy and leave. Software companies deliver a tool and leave the operating to you. PowerQ does the daily management itself: the tenders, the click moments within your mandate, the invoice control, the reporting. We do not sit beside the cockpit, we sit in it, every day.
