How This Helps and Why It Matters
Energy is one of the most under-optimised cost bases in business.
Rising prices, market volatility, and pressure to meet ESG expectations mean CFO’s and COO’s are re-evaluating how energy fits into their finance and operational strategies. By treating energy as a controllable financial lever rather than a fixed overhead, organisations can protect profitability, release capital, and strengthen their competitive position.
That’s where Optify comes in.
We work with finance and operational leaders to design self-funding strategies that transform energy from a volatile cost into a source of measurable business value, delivering margin improvement, a drive towards energy cost neutrality, and tangible ESG outcomes.
Finance
Protect profitability, reduce opex and free up capital
-
Optimise energy spend to improve margins
-
Unlock self-funding improvement strategies
-
Align energy costs with financial KPI's and objectives
Operations
Increase efficiency and resilience across the business

For most organisations, energy is their largest unmanaged cost. Energy cost transformation creates the same financial impact as a major efficiency programme but it pays for itself.
Our impact in numbers.
Who We Help
We work with the leaders responsible for financial performance, operational resilience, and sustainability delivery.
In today’s organisations, energy decisions aren’t just technical they’re financial, strategic, and reputational. We work with leaders across finance, ESG, and operations to align these priorities into one cohesive, self-funding energy strategy that drives measurable results.
01
Finance Leaders
When profitability and resilience are under pressure, energy is often the most under-optimised cost base. We help CFO’s and finance teams re-engineer cost structures, improve ROI, and unlock capital efficiency through self-funding energy strategies that deliver measurable returns.
Challenges you face:
-
Facing rising energy costs and margin pressures
-
Seeking capital-efficient, risk-managed solutions
-
Balancing short-term budgets with long-term strategic goals
What energy cost transformation means:
Energy cost transformation is the disciplined re-engineering of how an organisation buys, uses and finances energy turning it from a volatile expense into a source of financial transformation and competitive advantage. It goes beyond cost cutting to embed data-driven procurement, efficiency technologies, and market instruments that deliver margin improvement, cash-flow stability, and sustained returns on energy investment.
02
Operational Leaders
By rethinking how energy is sourced, stored, funded, and monetised, organisations can unlock new forms of financial resilience. We help operational leaders integrate renewable generation, storage, and smart procurement into cohesive systems that perform over the long term.
Challenges you face:
-
Responsible for reliable operations under cost volatility
-
Looking for predictable, resilient energy systems
-
Managing multiple sites and complex energy demands
What energy cost transformation means:
Energy cost transformation means re-designing the way your business buys, uses, and generates energy to deliver measurable and sustained reductions in total energy spend without compromising performance or growth. It combines commercial innovation, operational efficiency, and digital intelligence to deliver results that traditional energy management cannot.
03
Sustainability and ESG Leaders
Stakeholders and regulators are demanding measurable, auditable progress on sustainability. We help ESG and sustainability leaders accelerate credible decarbonisation while strengthening financial performance, delivering ESG outcomes that stand up to scrutiny.
Challenges you face:
-
Under pressure to hit carbon reduction targets
-
Need credible ESG reporting without extra budget burden
-
Aligning sustainability initiatives with core business objectives
What energy cost transformation means:
Energy cost transformation can be a key enabler of ESG initiatives as the strategic alignment of cost efficiency and decarbonisation, re-designing how an organisation sources, consumes, and manages energy to achieve both financial savings and measurable emissions reductions. It integrates clean technologies, data intelligence, and market innovation to build resilience, accelerate progress toward net zero, and demonstrate the tangible business value of sustainability.
How We Do It
