PowerSettle ensures an electricity distributor is paid its wholesale share first — at the point of customer payment — even when billing and collection sit with a separate intermediary. It turns a fragile collections process into a governed, transparent settlement guarantee.
Detailed platform information is available to qualified parties under a mutual non-disclosure agreement.
Across many electricity markets, power is sold to customers through municipalities or other intermediaries that collect on the distributor's behalf. The structural risk is not customer non-payment — it is that collected revenue is diverted before the distributor's wholesale share is remitted. PowerSettle ring-fences that share and settles it first, every cycle, at the point of payment — without litigation, negotiation, or reliance on the intermediary's discretion.
At the point of customer payment, a rules-based engine calculates the distributor's regulated wholesale share and issues the settlement instruction.
The wholesale share is settled into a ring-fenced trust account at the collector's own incumbent, regulated bank — before any residual is released.
PowerSettle issues instructions only; the regulated bank holds the money and executes the disbursement — keeping the platform outside the payment perimeter.
Every payment, settlement and allocation is reconciled and written to an immutable audit ledger, with real-time visibility for the distributor and oversight bodies.
For distributors whose revenue is collected by municipalities or other intermediaries, PowerSettle guarantees the wholesale share is remitted first — with no change to vending, retail channels, or the customer experience.
Unremitted electricity revenue is a major fiscal risk for public utilities. PowerSettle converts a discretionary collections process into a governed, transparent and auditable settlement — without disrupting service delivery.
