our mission
To give every business power over energy: controlled, saved, seen.
Threefold transforms UK commercial sites into intelligent, responsive energy assets.
Our on-site technology automatically controls when electricity is drawn, stored, and used—reducing costs and changing how businesses interact with energy.
That conviction is what "power over energy" means. Having the power to control when energy is bought throughout the day, without effecting when it is used. Having the power to respond to the pricing signals built into business energy, instead of just accepting increases.
Reduce
Reduce the use of fossil fuels – by moving business energy away from the most expensive and carbon intensive times
Promote
Promote the use of renewables – by moving business energy to the cheapest and cleanest times.
Support
Support electrification – free up grid capacity by reducing demand on the grid at peak times.
the challange
Energy today must be actively managed.
Energy production today comes from a mix of sources which change based on weather and demand. In turn, energy prices vary wildly throughout the day, in predictable and forecastable ways.
Energy Flexibility lets you navigate this volatility by choosing the optimum path, rather than just weathering the storm. But most businesses can’t change their operations based on the weather.
Threefold Optima creates the flexibility you need, without changing how you operate, and finds that Optimum path for you.

Report Scope 2 and 3 with real data
Optima shifts when you consume, not how much. That changes the carbon intensity behind each unit, and gives you half-hourly evidence to report Scope 2 and Scope 3 against the GHG Protocol.
Match clean power in time
Optima shifts your demand into the hours when generation is cleanest, matching consumption to low-carbon supply in time, not just on paper.
Strengthen claims with REGOs
Your certificates line up with when you actually draw power, so the renewable claim reflects real consumption.
Increase reporting credibility
Your claims rest on an auditable half-hourly record rather than contracts alone – defensible under the UK Green Claims Code, and lower greenwashing risk.
Support ESOS compliance
Verifiable efficiency improvements support the UK’s mandatory energy-efficiency scheme while reducing cost.
Reported, not estimated
Carbon is reported from your own half-hourly data in the same dashboard as cost, per site or portfolio.
Frequently Asked
Questions
How much does it cost to get started?
Own it, or we fund it. The funded route can mean no upfront capital.
Does this work with my existing supplier?
Yes. Most commercial suppliers offer products that recognise your flexibility.
What do I actually have to do?
Very little. Threefold designs, installs, operates and optimises the whole system.
Who owns the data, and can I see it?
Your energy data is yours, and you seeeverything about your own energy performance through the Optima dashboard.
