About Powston
Powston is an Australian energy technology company based in Brisbane that specializes in intelligent energy management systems for solar and battery owners, enabling them to connect directly to the National Electricity Market and optimize trading based on real-time wholesale prices. Rather than functioning as a traditional energy retailer or virtual power plant, Powston’s platform uses AI algorithms and IoT-enabled controllers to automate charging from low-price periods and exporting during price spikes, helping users reduce energy costs and increase returns from their battery systems. The technology integrates with a range of leading inverters and batteries, and supports smart control of additional devices such as EV chargers, heat pumps and air conditioning to enhance overall home energy efficiency. Customers retain full control and 100 % of wholesale revenue while benefiting from automated optimization and detailed performance insights. Powston also works with certified installers and partners to support seamless onboarding and system integration, and offers both “set-and-forget” and advanced custom modes for more technical users. With a focus on sustainability and cost effectiveness, the company aims to help households and businesses lower energy bills, reduce carbon footprint and take meaningful steps toward a smarter, more flexible energy future.
