About us

About PowerQ: independent energy adviser since 2004

PowerQ was founded in 2004 in Rotterdam and coordinates energy procurement, risk management and reporting for organisations with sites in multiple European countries. One central team works with local specialists in each market.

Our history

Since 2004

We coordinate energy procurement, risk management, contracting, invoice control and reporting in one partnership. PowerQ is the central contracting partner for the service; your local entities remain the counterparty of the energy supplier.

What sets us apart is the mandate you give us. With this mandate, you authorise PowerQ to buy energy on your behalf, and together we agree in advance how we will do this. So you always know what we do, and why we do it. Our own platform, PowerQ Connect, supports everything we do for you. Procurement, risk management and reporting under one roof: that is what we offer.

Main office

Rotterdam. Plus a partner network in 10 European Markets

PowerQ works from Rotterdam. Every energy market works differently per country. That is why we work with one fixed local specialist in each country, a PowerQ Partner, who works under our responsibility. So you get local knowledge everywhere, and still one point of contact: PowerQ. We choose partners with a proven position in their local market and we monitor their quality.

Independence policy

Independent by design.

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.

01
No ownership interests in producers, traders or suppliers.
02
We do not sell energy, installations or software.
03
How we are paid is agreed in advance.
Plan an introduction

A first conversation works best with your own numbers.

Loek Hulsbergen Founder & Managing Director

Bring twelve months of invoices. In an introductory conversation of 45 minutes, we look at them together. You get a first view of what buying for all your sites together means for your price, your risk profile and your reporting. If our approach does not fit your situation, we will tell you.
