Company mission
To power a sustainable and abundant energy future for everyone.
Our take
The energy market today is rapidly changing and more companies want to offer electricity in creative ways. As electric vehicles, home solar systems, and smart devices become more common, there's a growing opportunity for businesses to embed power into their products and services but the challenge is that running these energy businesses is complex, heavily regulated, and often risky.
So, Light is stepping in with a platform that lets any company become a "power company" without taking on all the usual burdens. In practice, this means a business can design its own branded electricity plans, embed them into products or customer journies, and let Light handle the behind-the-scenes work (like procurement, billing, customer support, regulatory compliance).
While Light is still pretty young, their ambitions are huge. They aim to reshape how energy is sold by turning traditional brands into energy providers, helping them tap into recurring revenue streams and deepen loyalty. Their early results are promising too, with quick integration, strong customer response, and successful launches in regulated markets like Texas. By taking on the complexity themselves, Light is allowing their partners to focus on growth and they're clearly building a future where more and more companies are "powered by Light".
