Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as it applies to interim financial statements. This information should be read along with our consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. We account for investments over which we have significant influence but not a controlling financial interest using the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the financial position, the results of operations, the changes in equity and the cash flows of the Company for the respective periods. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Relationship with our Founder, Majority Shareholder, and Chief Executive Officer W. Keith Maxwell, III (our "Founder") is the Chief Executive Officer, a director and the owner of a majority of the voting power of our common stock through his ownership of NuDevco Retail, LLC ("NuDevco Retail") and Retailco, LLC ("Retailco"). Retailco is a wholly owned subsidiary of TxEx Energy Investments, LLC ("TxEx"), which is wholly owned by Mr. Maxwell. NuDevco Retail is a wholly owned subsidiary of NuDevco Retail Holdings LLC ("NuDevco Retail Holdings"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Electric HoldCo, LLC, which is also a wholly owned subsidiary of TxEx. ERCOT Securitization Proceeds In June 2022, the Company received $9.6 million from Electric Reliability Council of Texas ("ERCOT") related to Public Utility Regulatory Act ("PURA") Subchapter N Securitization financing. The Company accounted for the proceeds received as the recovery of costs of sales and services from a vendor under FASB ASC Topic 705, Cost of Sales and Services reflected as a reduction of retail cost of revenues within our consolidated statements of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as that is where the initial costs related to the impact of Winter Storm Uri were recorded. New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K. Standards Being Evaluated/Standards Not Yet Adopted The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. New ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenues

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenues	3. Revenues Our revenues are derived primarily from the sale of natural gas and electricity to customers, including affiliates. Revenue is measured based upon the quantity of gas or power delivered at prices contained or referenced in the customer's contract, and excludes any sales incentives (e.g., rebates) and amounts collected on behalf of third parties (e.g., sales tax). Our revenues also include asset optimization activities. Asset optimization activities consist primarily of purchases and sales of gas that meet the definition of trading activities per FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging . They are therefore excluded from the scope of FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Other revenue is derived from contracts with customers through the provision of wireless and other services and the sale of wireless equipment. Revenues for electricity, natural gas, and related services are recognized as the Company transfers the promised goods and services to the customer. Electricity and natural gas products may be sold as fixed-price or variable-price products. The typical length of a contract to provide electricity and/or natural gas is twelve months. Customers are billed and generally pay at least monthly, based on usage. Electricity and natural gas sales that have been delivered but not billed by period end are estimated and recorded as accrued unbilled revenues based on estimates of customer usage since the date of the last meter read provided by the utility. Volume estimates are based on forecasted volumes and estimated residential and commercial customer usage. Unbilled revenues are calculated by multiplying these volume estimates by the applicable rate by customer class (residential or commercial). Estimated amounts are adjusted when actual usage is known and billed.

Reconciliation to Consolidated Financial Information A reconciliation of the reportable segment operating revenues to consolidated revenues is as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Total Reportable Segments Revenue $ 92,621 $ 98,347 $ 227,746 $ 226,405 Net asset optimization expense (1,359) (1,248) (4,632) (2,152) Other Revenue 137 — 137 — Total Revenues $ 91,399 $ 97,099 $ 223,251 $ 224,253 We record gross receipts taxes on a gross basis in retail revenues and retail cost of revenues. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, our retail revenues included gross receipts taxes of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and our retail cost of revenues included gross receipts taxes of $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, our retail revenues included gross receipt taxes of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and our retail cost of revenues included gross receipts taxes of $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Accounts receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses The Company conducts business in many utility service markets where the local regulated utility purchases our receivables, and then becomes responsible for billing the customer and collecting payment from the customer (“POR programs”). These POR programs result in substantially all of the Company’s credit risk being linked to the applicable utility, which generally has an investment-grade rating, and not to the end-use customer. The Company monitors the financial condition of each utility and currently believes its receivables are collectible. In markets that do not offer POR programs or when the Company chooses to directly bill its customers, certain receivables are billed and collected by the Company. The Company bears the credit risk on these accounts and records an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect any losses due to non-payment by customers. The Company’s customers are individually insignificant and geographically dispersed in these markets. The Company writes off customer balances when it believes that amounts are no longer collectible and when it has exhausted all means to collect these receivables. For trade accounts receivables, the Company accrues an allowance for credit losses by business segment by pooling customer accounts receivables based on similar risk characteristics, such as customer type, geography, aging analysis, payment terms, and related macro-economic factors. Expected credit loss exposure is evaluated for each of our accounts receivables pools. Expected credits losses are established using a model that considers historical collections experience, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances against the allowance for credit losses when the accounts receivable is deemed to be uncollectible. A rollforward of our allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are presented in the table below (in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2022 $ (4,335) Current period credit loss provision (1,888) Write-offs 1,179 Recovery of previous write-offs (58) Balance at June 30, 2023 $ (5,102)

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	4. Equity Non-controlling Interest We hold an economic interest and are the sole managing member in Spark HoldCo, with affiliates of our Founder holding the remaining economic interests in Spark HoldCo. As a result, we consolidate the financial position and results of operations of Spark HoldCo, and reflect the economic interests owned by these affiliates as a non-controlling interest. The Company and affiliates owned the following economic interests in Spark HoldCo at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company Affiliated Owners June 30, 2023 44.90 % 55.10 % December 31, 2022 44.45 % 55.55 % The following table summarizes the portion of net income and income tax expense attributable to non-controlling interest (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net income allocated to non-controlling interest $ 11,957 $ 7,994 $ 5,623 $ 27,341 Less: Income tax expense allocated to non-controlling interest 852 78 1,102 1,373 Net income attributable to non-controlling interest $ 11,105 $ 7,916 $ 4,521 $ 25,968 Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock Holders of the Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law or by our certificate of incorporation. Reverse Stock Split On March 20, 2023, the Company’s shareholders approved at a special meeting a proposal by the Company’s Board of Directors to consummate a reverse stock split of the Company’s Class A common stock at a ratio between 1 for 2 to 1 for 5 and (ii) Class B common stock at a ratio between 1 for 2 to 1 for 5, with such ratios to be determined by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer, or to determine not to proceed with the reverse stock split, during a period of time not to exceed the one-year anniversary of the special meeting date (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On March 20, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1 to 5 for each issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock as of March 21, 2023 at 5:30 PM ET. The Class A common stock began trading on a post-split basis on March 22, 2023. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and it did not impact the par value of the Class A common stock or Class B common stock. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the next whole number. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock remained unchanged at 120,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 60,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. All shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively restated to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split effective March 21, 2023. Dividends on Class A Common Stock Dividends declared for the Company's Class A common stock are reported as a reduction of retained earnings, or a reduction of additional paid in capital to the extent retained earnings are exhausted. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid zero and $2.9 million in dividends to the holders of the Company's Class A common stock. If we pay our stated dividends to holders of our Class A common stock, our subsidiary, Spark HoldCo is required to make corresponding distributions to holders of its units, including those holders that own our Class B common stock (our non-controlling interest holder). As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Spark HoldCo made corresponding distributions of zero and $3.6 million to our non-controlling interest holders. In April 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors elected to temporarily suspend the quarterly cash dividend on the Class A common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we did not pay dividends to the holders of the Company's Class A common stock and did not make corresponding distributions to our non-controlling interest holders. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of Class A common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Class B common shares are not included in the calculation of basic earnings per share because they are not participating securities and have no economic interests. Diluted earnings per share is similarly calculated except that the denominator is increased by potentially dilutive securities. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net income attributable to Via Renewables, Inc. stockholders $ 7,981 $ 4,618 $ 7,794 $ 17,592 Less: Dividend on Series A Preferred Stock 2,640 1,700 5,184 3,651 Net income attributable to stockholders of Class A common stock $ 5,341 $ 2,918 $ 2,610 $ 13,941 Basic weighted average Class A common shares outstanding 3,205 3,149 3,189 3,140 Basic income per share attributable to stockholders $ 1.67 $ 0.93 $ 0.82 $ 4.44 Net income attributable to stockholders of Class A common stock $ 5,341 $ 2,918 $ 2,610 $ 13,941 Effect of conversion of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock — — — — Diluted net income attributable to stockholders of Class A common stock $ 5,341 $ 2,918 $ 2,610 $ 13,941 Basic weighted average Class A common shares outstanding 3,205 3,149 3,189 3,140 Effect of dilutive Class B common stock — — — — Effect of dilutive restricted stock units — 6 — 18 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 3,205 3,155 3,189 3,158 Diluted income per share attributable to stockholders $ 1.67 $ 0.92 $ 0.82 $ 4.41 The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, excludes 4.0 million and 4.0 million shares of Class B common stock because the effect of their conversion was antidilutive. The Company's outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they contain only contingent redemption provisions that have not occurred. Variable Interest Entity Spark HoldCo is a variable interest entity due to its lack of rights to participate in significant financial and operating decisions and its inability to dissolve or otherwise remove its management. Spark HoldCo owns all of the outstanding membership interests in each of our operating subsidiaries except VES. We are the sole managing member of Spark HoldCo, manage Spark HoldCo's operating subsidiaries through this managing membership interest, and are considered the primary beneficiary of Spark HoldCo. The assets of Spark HoldCo cannot be used to settle our obligations except through distributions to us, and the liabilities of Spark HoldCo cannot be settled by us except through contributions to Spark HoldCo. The following table includes the carrying amounts and classification of the assets and liabilities of Spark HoldCo that are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands): June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Assets Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 46,945 $ 33,267 Accounts receivable 47,702 81,363 Other current assets 46,945 61,162 Total current assets 141,592 175,792 Non-current assets: Goodwill 120,343 120,343 Other assets 12,667 13,675 Total non-current assets 133,010 134,018 Total Assets $ 274,602 $ 309,810 Liabilities Current liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 31,913 $ 61,367 Other current liabilities 67,643 63,673 Total current liabilities 99,556 125,040 Long-term liabilities: Long-term portion of Senior Credit Facility 105,000 100,000 Subordinated debt — affiliate 5,000 20,000 Other long-term liabilities 2,429 2,733 Total long-term liabilities 112,429 122,733 Total Liabilities $ 211,985 $ 247,773

Equity [Abstract]
Preferred Stock	5. Preferred Stock Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except in specific circumstances of delisting or in the case the dividends are in arrears as specified in the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations. The Series A Preferred Stock accrued dividends at an annual percentage rate of 8.75% through April 14, 2022. The floating rate period for the Series A Preferred Stock began on April 15, 2022. The dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue at an annual rate equal to the sum of (a) Three-Month LIBOR (if it then exists), or an alternative reference rate as of the applicable determination date and (b) 6.578%, based on the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of the Series A Preferred Stock. The liquidation preference provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock are considered contingent redemption provisions because there are rights granted to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock that are not solely within our control upon a change in control of the Company. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Stock is presented between liabilities and the equity sections in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of April 15, 2022, we have the option to redeem our Series A Preferred Stock. Following the cessation of the publication of U.S. LIBOR on June 30, 2023, the Company uses Three-Month CME Term SOFR plus a tenor spread of 0.26161 percent (or 26.161 bps) to calculate the dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the rules of the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we paid $2.5 million and $4.9 million in dividends to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2023, we had accrued $2.6 million related to dividends to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. This dividend was paid on July 17, 2023. A summary of our preferred equity balance for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 87,713 Accumulated dividends on Series A Preferred Stock 263 Balance at June 30, 2023 $ 87,976

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	6. Derivative Instruments We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the price of electricity and natural gas, basis differences in the price of natural gas, storage charges, renewable energy credits ("RECs"), and capacity charges from independent system operators. We use derivative instruments in an effort to manage our cash flow exposure to these risks. These instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and, accordingly, changes in the market value of these derivative instruments are recorded in the cost of revenues. As part of our strategy to optimize pricing in our natural gas related activities, we also manage a portfolio of commodity derivative instruments held for trading purposes. Our commodity trading activities are subject to limits within our Risk Management Policy. For these derivative instruments, changes in the fair value are recognized currently in earnings in net asset optimization revenues. Derivative assets and liabilities are presented net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets when the derivative instruments are executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Our derivative contracts include transactions that are executed both on an exchange and centrally cleared, as well as over-the-counter, bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with third parties. To the extent we have paid or received collateral related to the derivative assets or liabilities, such amounts would be presented net against the related derivative asset or liability’s fair value. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we offset $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in collateral to net against the related derivative liability's fair value. The specific types of derivative instruments we may execute to manage the commodity price risk include the following: • Forward contracts, which commit us to purchase or sell energy commodities in the future; • Futures contracts, which are exchange-traded standardized commitments to purchase or sell a commodity or financial instrument; • Swap agreements, which require payments to or from counterparties based upon the differential between two prices for a predetermined notional quantity; and • Option contracts, which convey to the option holder the right but not the obligation to purchase or sell a commodity. The Company has entered into other energy-related contracts that do not meet the definition of a derivative instrument or for which we made a normal purchase, normal sale election and are therefore not accounted for at fair value including the following: • Forward electricity and natural gas purchase contracts for retail customer load; • Renewable energy credits; and • Natural gas transportation contracts and storage agreements.

Of these amounts, $0.8 million and $0.8 million are recorded in other current assets, and $0.8 million and $1.3 million are recorded in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Interest expense consists of the following components for the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Senior Credit Facility $ 1,734 $ 883 $ 3,801 $ 1,579 Letters of credit fees and commitment fees 461 397 864 762 Amortization of deferred financing costs 207 468 413 713 Other 45 72 66 73 Interest Expense $ 2,447 $ 1,820 $ 5,144 $ 3,127 Senior Credit Facility The Company and Spark HoldCo, and together with certain subsidiaries of the Company and Spark Holdco, (the “Co-Borrowers”) maintain a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”), which allows the Co-Borrowers to borrow up to $195.0 million on a revolving basis. The Senior Credit Facility provides for working capital loans, loans to fund acquisitions, swingline loans and letters of credit. The Senior Credit Facility expires on June 30, 2025, and all amounts outstanding thereunder are payable on the expiration date. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at the following rates depending on the classification of the borrowing and provided further that at no time shall the interest rate be less than four percent (4.0%) per annum: • The Base Rate (a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus ½ of 1% and (c) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") for a one month tenor plus 1.0%, provided, that the Base Rate shall not at any time be less than 0%), plus an applicable margin of 3.25% to 4.50% depending on the type of borrowing and the average outstanding amount of loans and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement at the end of the prior fiscal quarter; • The Term SOFR (a rate equal to the forward looking secured overnight financing rate published by the SOFR administrator on the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor source with either a comparable tenor (for any calculation with respect to a SOFR loan) or a one month tenor (for any calculation with respect to a Base Rate loan)), plus an applicable margin of 3.25% to 4.50% depending on the type of borrowing and the average outstanding amount of loans and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement at the end of the prior fiscal quarter; or • The Daily Simple SOFR (a rate equal to the forward looking secured overnight financing rate published by the SOFR administrator on the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor source and applied on a daily basis by the Agent in accordance with rate recommendations for daily loans), plus an applicable margin of 3.25% to 4.50% depending on the type of borrowing and the average outstanding amount of loans and letters of credit under the Credit Agreement at the end of the prior fiscal quarter, plus a liquidity premium added by the Agent to each borrowing. The Co-Borrowers are required to pay a non-utilization fee of 0.50% quarterly in arrears on the unused portion of the Senior Credit Facility. In addition, the Co-Borrowers are subject to additional fees including an upfront fee, an annual administrative agency fee, an arrangement fee and letter of credit fees. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, require the maintenance of specified ratios or conditions including: • Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Company must maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00. The Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (a) Adjusted EBITDA to (b) the sum of, among other things, consolidated interest expense, letter of credit fees, non-utilization fees, earn-out payments, certain restricted payments, taxes, and payments made on or after July 31, 2020 related to the settlement of civil and regulatory matters if not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Our Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of June 30, 2023 was 1.52 to 1.00. • Maximum Total Leverage Ratio. The Company must maintain a ratio of (x) the sum of all consolidated indebtedness (excluding eligible subordinated debt and letter of credit obligations), plus (y) gross amounts reserved for civil and regulatory liabilities identified filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to Adjusted EBITDA of no more than 2.50 to 1.00. Our Maximum Total Leverage Ratio as of June 30, 2023 was 1.85 to 1.00. • Maximum Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. The Company must maintain a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of no more than 2.00 to 1.00. The Senior Secured Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of (a) all consolidated indebtedness that is secured by a lien on any property of any loan party (including the effective amount of all loans then outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility but excluding eligible subordinated debt and letter of credit obligations) to (b) Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent twelve month period then ended. Our Maximum Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as of June 30, 2023 was 1.80 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facility. The Company experienced compressed gross profit due to an extreme elevation of commodity costs during 2022, impacting calculated Adjusted EBITDA, a primary component of the financial covenants described above. The Company is actively working to manage the expected impact of continued gross profit compression due to elevated commodity costs on financial covenant compliance. Maintaining compliance with our covenants under our Senior Credit Facility may impact our ability to pay dividends. The Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative covenants that require, among other things, the Company to maintain insurance, pay its obligations and comply with law. The Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants that limit the Company's ability to, among other things, incur certain additional indebtedness, grant certain liens, engage in certain asset dispositions, merge or consolidate, make certain payments, distributions and dividends, investments, acquisitions or loans, materially modify certain agreements, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The Senior Credit Facility is secured by pledges of the equity of the portion of Spark HoldCo owned by the Company, the equity of Spark HoldCo’s subsidiaries, the Co-Borrowers’ present and future subsidiaries, and substantially all of the Co-Borrowers’ and their subsidiaries’ present and future property and assets, including intellectual property assets, accounts receivable, inventory and liquid investments, and control agreements relating to bank accounts. The Company is entitled to pay cash dividends to the holders of its Series A Preferred Stock and Class A common stock so long as: (a) no default exists or would result therefrom; (b) the Co-Borrowers are in pro forma compliance with all financial covenants before and after giving effect thereto; and (c) the outstanding amount of all loans and letters of credit do not exceed the borrowing base limits. The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties and events of default. Events of default include, among other things, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults and cross-acceleration to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, certain events under ERISA, material judgments in excess of $5.0 million, certain events with respect to material contracts, and actual or asserted failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the Senior Credit Facility to be in full force and effect. A default will also occur if at any time W. Keith Maxwell III ceases to, directly or indirectly, beneficially own at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock on a combined basis, and a controlling percentage of the voting equity interest of the Company, and certain other changes in control. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the facility and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. Subordinated Debt Facility The Company maintains an Amended and Restated Subordinated Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $25.0 million (the “Subordinated Debt Facility”), by and among the Company, Spark HoldCo and Retailco. The Subordinated Debt Facility allows the Company to draw advances in increments of no less than $1.0 million per advance up to $25.0 million through January 31, 2026. Borrowings are at the discretion of Retailco. Advances thereunder accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal plus two percent (2.0%) from the date of the advance. The Company has the right to capitalize interest payments under the Subordinated Debt Facility. The Subordinated Debt Facility is subordinated in certain respects to our Senior Credit Facility pursuant to a subordination agreement. The Company may pay interest and prepay principal on the Subordinated Debt Facility so long it is in compliance with the covenants under the Senior Credit Facility, is not in default under the Senior Credit Facility and has minimum availability of $5.0 million under the borrowing base under the Senior Credit Facility. Payment of principal and interest under the Subordinated Debt Facility is accelerated upon the occurrence of certain change of control or sale transactions. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were $5.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings under the Subordinated Debt Facility.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	10. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. This includes the credit standing of counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements. We apply fair value measurements to our commodity derivative instruments based on the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Instruments categorized in Level 1 primarily consist of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivative instruments. • Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices recorded in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 primarily include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity forwards and swaps and options. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little, if any, observable market activity for the asset or liability. As the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3), the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. These levels can change over time. In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these cases, the lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables present assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis by and their level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total June 30, 2023 Non-trading commodity derivative assets $ 309 $ 200 $ — $ 509 Trading commodity derivative assets — 110 — 110 Total commodity derivative assets $ 309 $ 310 $ — $ 619 Non-trading commodity derivative liabilities $ — $ (23,058) $ — $ (23,058) Trading commodity derivative liabilities — (492) — (492) Total commodity derivative liabilities $ — $ (23,550) $ — $ (23,550) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2022 Non-trading commodity derivative assets $ 72 $ 1,149 $ — $ 1,221 Trading commodity derivative assets — 1,077 — 1,077 Total commodity derivative assets $ 72 $ 2,226 $ — $ 2,298 Non-trading commodity derivative liabilities $ — $ (17,617) $ — $ (17,617) Trading commodity derivative liabilities — (1,230) — (1,230) Total commodity derivative liabilities $ — $ (18,847) $ — $ (18,847) We had no transfers of assets or liabilities between any of the above levels during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022. Our derivative contracts include exchange-traded contracts valued utilizing readily available quoted market prices and non-exchange-traded contracts valued using market price quotations available through brokers or over-the-counter and on-line exchanges. In addition, in determining the fair value of our derivative contracts, we apply a credit risk valuation adjustment to reflect credit risk, which is calculated based on our or the counterparty’s historical credit risks. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the credit risk valuation adjustment was a reduction of derivative liabilities, net of $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	11. Income Taxes Income Taxes We and our subsidiaries, CenStar and Verde Energy USA, Inc. ("Verde Corp"), are each subject to U.S. federal income tax as corporations. CenStar and Verde Corp file consolidated tax returns in jurisdictions that allow combined reporting. Spark HoldCo and its subsidiaries, with the exception of CenStar and Verde Corp, are treated as flow-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as such, are generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax at the entity level. Rather, the tax liability with respect to their taxable income is passed through to their members or partners. Accordingly, we are subject to U.S. federal income taxation on our allocable share of Spark HoldCo’s net U.S. taxable income. In our financial statements, we report federal and state income taxes for our share of the partnership income attributable to our ownership in Spark HoldCo and for the income taxes attributable to CenStar and Verde Corp. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest includes the provision for income taxes related to CenStar and Verde Corp. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities. We apply existing tax law and the tax rate that we expect to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled in calculating the deferred tax assets and liabilities. Effects of changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in income in the period of the tax rate enactment. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is not more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will be realized. We periodically assess whether it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient taxable income to realize our deferred income tax assets. In making this determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions. We consider, among other things, our deferred tax liabilities, the overall business environment, our historical earnings and losses, current industry trends, and our outlook for future years. We believe it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be utilized, and accordingly have not recorded a valuation allowance on these assets. As of June 30, 2023, we had a net deferred tax asset of $19.1 million, due in large part to the original step up in tax basis resulting from the initial purchase of Spark HoldCo units from NuDevco Retail and NuDevco Retail Holdings (predecessor to Retailco) in connection with our initial public offering. The effective U.S. federal and state income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 21.5% and 17.9%, respectively. The effective U.S. federal and state income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 20.8% and 16.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and the benefit provided from Spark HoldCo operating as a limited liability company, which is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and is not subject to federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, the portion of earnings attributable to non-controlling interest is subject to tax when reported as a component of the non-controlling interest holders' taxable income.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	12. Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, we may be involved in legal, tax, regulatory and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal Proceedings Below is a summary of our currently pending material legal proceedings. We are subject to lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. The following legal proceedings are in various stages and are subject to substantial uncertainties concerning the outcome of material factual and legal issues. Accordingly, unless otherwise specifically noted, we cannot currently predict the manner and timing of the resolutions of these legal proceedings or estimate a range of possible losses or a minimum loss that could result from an adverse verdict in a potential lawsuit. While the lawsuits and claims are asserted for amounts that may be material should an unfavorable outcome occur, management does not currently expect that any currently pending matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Consumer Lawsuits Similar to other energy service companies ( “ ESCOs ” ) operating in the industry, from time-to-time, the Company is subject to class action lawsuits in various jurisdictions where the Company sells natural gas and electricity. On January 14, 2021, Glikin, et al. v. Major Energy Electric Services, LLC, a purported variable rate class action was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, attempting to represent a class of all Major Energy customers (including customers of companies Major Energy acts as a successor to) in the United States charged a variable rate for electricity or gas by Major Energy during the applicable statute of limitations period up to and including the date of judgment. The Company believes there is no merit to this case and is vigorously defending this matter; however, given the current early stage of this matter, we cannot predict the outcome of this case at this time. Corporate Matter Lawsuits The Company may from time to time be subject to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company does not expect any of those legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Regulatory Matters Many state regulators have increased scrutiny on retail energy providers, across all industry providers. We are subject to regular regulatory inquiries, license renewal reviews, and preliminary investigations in the ordinary course of our business. Below is a summary of our currently pending material state regulatory matters. The following state regulatory matters are in various stages and are subject to substantial uncertainties concerning the outcome of material factual and legal issues. Accordingly, we cannot currently predict the manner and timing of the resolution of these state regulatory matters or estimate a range of possible losses or a minimum loss that could result from an adverse action. Management does not currently expect that any currently pending state regulatory matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Maine . On February 9, 2023, Maine Commission Advocacy Staff filed a Request for Formal Investigation requesting that the Maine Commission open a formal, enforcement investigation to review whether Company’s subsidiary, Electricity Maine, LLC (EME), is in compliance with the Maine Commission’s Rules. During a special deliberative session, the same day, the Maine Commission announced it would proceed with a formal investigation of EME, which was noticed in a Notice of Enforcement Investigation issued February 10, 2023. The Company is voluntarily working with the Commission and believes this matter will not have a material impact on the Company. In addition to the matters disclosed above, in the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time be subject to regulators initiating informal reviews or issuing subpoenas for information as means to evaluate the Company and its subsidiaries’ compliance with applicable laws, rule, regulations and practices. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company does not expect any of those regulatory reviews to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Illinois. On July 26, 2023, Spark Energy, LLC received a demand letter from a law firm representing the Office of the Illinois Attorney General alleging that Spark Energy, LLC’s marketing and sales practices may have not been in compliance with Illinois law. The letter offered, in the interest of efficiency and minimizing litigation costs, a settlement demand to resolve the matter. The Company is voluntarily working with the firm, however, if settlement is unsuccessful, the Attorney General could commence a lawsuit in Illinois against Spark Energy, LLC. Indirect Tax Audits We are undergoing various types of indirect tax audits spanning from years 2019 to 2023 for which additional liabilities may arise. At the time of filing these consolidated financial statements, these indirect tax audits are at an early stage and subject to substantial uncertainties concerning the outcome of audit findings and corresponding responses. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had accrued $3.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, related to litigation and regulatory matters and $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to indirect tax audits. The outcome of each of these may result in additional expense.

Transactions with Affiliates	13. Transactions with Affiliates Transactions with Affiliates We enter into transactions with and pay certain costs on behalf of affiliates that are commonly controlled in order to reduce risk, reduce administrative expense, create economies of scale, create strategic alliances and supply goods and services to these related parties. We also sell and purchase natural gas and electricity with affiliates and pay an affiliate to perform telemarketing activities. We present receivables and payables with the same affiliate on a net basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as all affiliate activity is with parties under common control. Affiliated transactions include certain services to the affiliated companies associated with employee benefits provided through our benefit plans, insurance plans, leased office space, administrative salaries, due diligence work, recurring management consulting, and accounting, tax, legal, or technology services.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	14. Segment Reporting Our determination of reportable business segments considers the strategic operating units under which we make financial decisions, allocate resources and assess performance of our business. Our reportable business segments are retail electricity and retail natural gas. The retail electricity segment consists of electricity sales and transmission to residential and commercial customers, and related services. The retail natural gas segment consists of natural gas sales to, and natural gas transportation and distribution for, residential and commercial customers. Corporate and other consists of expenses and assets of the retail electricity and natural gas segments that are managed at a consolidated level such as general and administrative expenses. Asset optimization activities are also included in Corporate and other. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded asset optimization revenues of $2.9 million and $18.6 million and asset optimization cost of revenues of $4.3 million and $19.8 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded asset optimization revenues of $14.4 million and $45.8 million and asset optimization cost of revenues of $19.0 million and $48.0 million, respectively, which are presented on a net basis in asset optimization revenues. We use retail gross margin to assess the performance of our operating segments. We define retail gross margin as gross profit less (i) net asset optimization (expenses) revenues, (ii) net (losses) gains on non-trading derivative instruments, (iii) net current period cash settlements on non-trading derivative instruments, and (iv) gains (losses) from non-recurring events (including non-recurring market volatility). We deduct net (losses) gains on non-trading derivative instruments, excluding current period cash settlements, from the retail gross margin calculation in order to remove the non-cash impact of net gains and losses on these derivative instruments. We deduct net gains (losses) from non-recurring events (including non-recurring market volatility) to ensure retail gross margin reflects operating performance that is not distorted by non-recurring events or extreme market volatility.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Customer Acquisitions	Customer Acquisitions Acquisition of Customer Books In August 2022, we entered into an agreement to acquire up to approximately 18,700 RCEs and derivatives related to the customer load under a five-year contingent fee structure based on gas volumes billed and collected for the acquired customer contracts. These customers began transferring in the fourth quarter of 2022 and are located in our existing markets. Due to the contingent fee structure, the cost of the RCEs will be recognized when probable and reasonably estimable. Acquisition of Broker Books In January 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement and agreed to acquire the rights to broker contracts for approximately 1,000 customer meters for a cash price of $0.4 million, which was paid upon execution of the contract. In January 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the rights to broker contracts for approximately 900 customer meters for a cash price of $0.6 million, pending certain conditions to close. We paid approximately $0.3 million as a deposit at the time the asset purchase agreement was executed. The conditions to close were met in June 2022, at which time approximately $0.3 million was paid to the seller.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as it applies to interim financial statements. This information should be read along with our consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. We account for investments over which we have significant influence but not a controlling financial interest using the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions	Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted and Standards Being Evaluated/Standards Not Yet Adopted	New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies as disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K. Standards Being Evaluated/Standards Not Yet Adopted The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. New ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Instruments	Derivative assets and liabilities are presented net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets when the derivative instruments are executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Our derivative contracts include transactions that are executed both on an exchange and centrally cleared, as well as over-the-counter, bilateral contracts that are transacted directly with third parties. To the extent we have paid or received collateral related to the derivative assets or liabilities, such amounts would be presented net against the related derivative asset or liability’s fair value.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. This includes the credit standing of counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements. We apply fair value measurements to our commodity derivative instruments based on the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Instruments categorized in Level 1 primarily consist of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivative instruments. • Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices recorded in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 primarily include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity forwards and swaps and options. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little, if any, observable market activity for the asset or liability. As the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3), the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. These levels can change over time. In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these cases, the lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.
