What It Is

Screaming Power is a Canadian energy data management and utility customer engagement software company with offices in Picton, Toronto, and Winnipeg. Its products include Scream Utility, EZGB, Scream Enterprise, and UEnergyHub, serving electric/water/gas utilities, large building owners, industrial facilities, energy consultants, financial and insurance institutions, and research organizations. Its core positioning is not general-purpose BI or traditional CRM, but a vertical industry platform built around utility bills, metering data, customer authorization, energy analytics, and GHG reporting.

Core Capabilities

The platform includes Android, iOS, and Web apps, an admin backend, customer/user/device/data-flow management, smart notifications, outage and operational alerts, data import/export, plus data hub and digital twin capabilities. Scream Utility is oriented toward utility customer portals, offering usage analytics, billing, outage notifications, and GHG information. EZGB is a data connector for the Ontario market, automatically collecting billing and meter data from 50+ utilities, with two years of historical data, daily updates, standardization, and data quality checks. Scream Enterprise targets building and industrial use cases, supporting multi-site energy monitoring, GHG tracking, reporting, integration of weather/market/operational data, and integrations such as Portfolio Manager.

Pricing and Deployment

The website does not publish plans or pricing and primarily sells through Request a Demo, making it a custom-quoted enterprise software product. The EZGB page mentions a free personalized demo with no commitment, but does not specify a free plan or trial period. For deployment, EZGB is a fully managed SaaS product hosted on AWS in Canada. Scream Utility explicitly supports either SaaS or on-premises installation, making it suitable for utility customers with data residency or local deployment requirements.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are deep vertical focus, strong fit with Ontario’s utility data ecosystem, and an emphasis on automated collection, authorization, standardization, API delivery, and customer-branded instances, which can significantly reduce the cost of manual data retrieval and multi-system integration. Local Canadian support hours are listed as weekdays 8:30–17:00 EST, and the company says it often provides support outside business hours. Weaknesses include limited transparency around pricing, implementation costs, permission models, and public API documentation. On security, it mentions AWS Canada hosting, the NAESB ESPI standard, penetration testing, and a regulated-market background, but we did not find disclosed certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.

Best Fit and Access from China

It is best suited to energy, utility, building-asset, and sustainability data scenarios in Canada, especially Ontario. If a company needs general cross-region energy management, it should carefully verify whether local utility data sources can be connected. Access from mainland China, payment methods, and local support information are unknown. For domestic Chinese companies mainly serving China-focused energy data and carbon management scenarios, it will usually make more sense to first compare local energy management systems, building energy consumption platforms, or carbon accounting/ESG software.
