About Powerside

Powerside operates as a specialized manufacturer of power intelligence solutions, providing products and services to ensure power quality for a diverse client base across more than 50 countries. The company was established in 2002, with roots tracing back over 75 years through its predecessor companies, Power Survey and Power Standards Lab, which unified under the Powerside brand.

The company is led by CEO Dr. Ross Dueber, whose background includes research and development in battery systems and work on the Strategic Defense Initiative for the U.S. Air Force. Powerside is a privately held, venture capital-backed firm headquartered in Quebec, Canada, with additional offices in Alameda, California. It has secured $44 million in total funding from investors including Energy Growth Momentum, Cycle Capital, EnerTech Capital, and BDC Capital.

Powerside's business model is centered on the design, manufacturing, and sale of an integrated suite of products and services that monitor, analyze, and correct power quality issues. Its revenue, estimated at $26.5 million annually, is generated through direct sales and a global partner network. The company serves a wide array of sectors, including utilities, data centers, semiconductor and industrial manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and military and government entities.

The product portfolio includes advanced power analyzers like the PQube 3 series, various types of harmonic filters, and capacitor banks. These are complemented by software solutions such as the QubeScan cloud-based platform for remote monitoring and PQView for enterprise data analysis, the latter of which was acquired through the purchase of Electrotek Concepts in March 2025. This comprehensive offering allows clients to detect and resolve power disturbances like harmonics and voltage fluctuations, thereby preventing costly downtime, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring grid stability.
