Optima™
The intelligence that runs your energy.
What is Optima?
Optima makes your energy flexible, using on-site battery storage and intelligent software to bring every component together into one solution that reduces your bills. It is the leading load shifting system for commercial energy.
It separates grid demand from on-site consumption, then shifts that demand to the cheapest, cleanest times, automatically, every day.
What Optima delivers
Monitors
Continuously monitors site demand, tariff pricing and grid conditions.
Shifts
Shifts electricity consumption away from expensive peak periods, using tariff-led load shifting.
Adapts
Adapts automatically, with no manual input from your team and no change to how your business operates.
How Optima works
Optima is tariff-agnostic. It delivers results whether you’re on a fixed or dynamic tariff.
Prices change through the day, so Optima's on-site battery moves with them, charging when energy is cheapest, discharging at peak, so your business runs in the most cost-efficient way possible.
Performance in plain sight.
We don’t ask you to take our word for it, we show you. Optima’s Dashboard enables you to see what is happening across your own energy, how the system is responding, and what that is delivering, across a single site or a multi-site portfolio.

Designed around
your energy
Optima works with multiple tariff structures, allowing you to continue your energy procurement strategy and risk profile.
Protection
from volatility
Energy prices swing, often sharply and without warning. Optima adapts as the market moves, shielding a business from the worst of that volatility rather than leaving it exposed.
Own it.
Or we fund it.
We are confident enough in our system to put our own capital behind it.
Our customers have the option to own the infrastructure directly or let Threefold fund the deployment. Either way, we design, install, operate and optimise the system and you keep the savings.
Option one
Capital Purchase
Own your Optima™ system outright by investing available capital.
Option two
Battery-as-a-Service
Fully funded and all-inclusive. We supply, install, operate and maintain the system for a fixed monthly fee.
