Current company Powder Watts

Powder Watts is redefining grid capacity by transforming one of the largest unmanaged electrical loads—rooftop heat cable systems—into a dispatchable Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Installed on over 20 million buildings, these systems typically run 24/7 through winter—and often beyond—due to lack of intelligent control, creating massive, persistent energy waste across the grid.
Powder Watts replaces this with AI-driven computer vision and weather-integrated controls that activate heat cables only when snow or ice is physically present in the melt zone, and only for as long as needed. The result is 70–90% energy reduction, eliminating the 3–5x winter electricity cost spikes many buildings experience and delivering rapid payback, often within months.
At the same time, it materially improves building protection. Ice dams are one of the leading causes of severe winter property damage, yet traditional systems offer no visibility into whether cables are functioning. Powder Watts introduces real-time monitoring, alerting, and verification—ensuring systems operate when needed and failures are detected—reducing risk, preventing costly damage, and improving operational confidence for homeowners and commercial operators.
For utilities, this converts wasted load into shapeable, dispatchable capacity embedded directly within the grid—no new generation, transmission, permitting, or interconnection delays. For states, it delivers near-term, scalable capacity measured in tens of GWh with deployment timelines in weeks, supporting reliability and reducing system-wide costs.
For data centers, Powder Watts is a leading “Bring Your Own Capacity” (BYOC) solution—creating capacity by eliminating waste, enabling faster interconnection, lower cost of power, and immediate alignment with constrained grids.
This is not just efficiency—it is infrastructure, unlocking one of the largest near-term capacity opportunities in the U.S.
