Best.Energy lands FBP backing to help businesses cut energy costs at scale
We’re proud to announce that Best.Energy has secured investment from specialist impact investor Future Business Partnership (FBP).
This marks a significant milestone in our journey, and an exciting step forward as we scale our ability to help organisations reduce energy costs, carbon emissions, and operational waste globally.
Best.Energy helps organisations cut energy consumption, costs, and carbon through a proprietary combination of IoT hardware, cloud software, and AI-enabled services. We are specialists in multi-site estates, where our platform delivers consistent, portfolio-wide savings at scale. Through our global Partner network, our technology is deployed across thousands of sites in more than 70 countries, supporting customers across sectors such as manufacturing, hospitality, retail, leisure, and the public sector, including global brands such as Yum! Brands, 7 Eleven, and Shangri La.
At a time of geopolitical uncertainty and sustained energy price pressure, energy efficiency has never been more critical. We believe it is the fastest, most practical way for organisations to respond - and our solutions are designed to deliver measurable results from day one, with savings of 10%-30% readily achievable.
From the outset, it was clear that FBP is strongly aligned with our mission. As a thematic impact investor focused on environmental and social progress - and the highest-ranking B-Corp private equity firm globally - FBP shares our belief in combining commercial success with meaningful impact.
As our CEO, Troy Wrigley, explains:
“Over 30% of the energy businesses pay for is wasted… they just don’t know which 30%.
That’s why we invented our unique energy saving platform. It shows you where the waste is and enables you to eliminate it.
The results are immediate and guaranteed: lower energy bills, lower maintenance costs, and better run sites. What continues to surprise me is how overlooked this still is. Energy efficiency is probably the biggest untapped opportunity in clean tech.
And that’s why we chose FBP over many other options. We share the same core values around profit with integrity, and we were impressed by how quickly they embraced our passion for helping more organisations around the world access the benefits of energy efficiency.
After all, it’s the fastest, cheapest, cleanest way to cut energy costs and solve our energy problems.”
With deep sector expertise and strong industrial networks, FBP is already supporting Best.Energy in expanding its reach and connecting with new customers. The investment will also accelerate innovation, enabling further development of our Virtual Energy Management platform, enhanced AI capabilities, and continued optimisation of customer experience and delivery outcomes.
Tracey Huggett and Vish Srivastava, Managing Partners of FBP, commented:
“Best.Energy is exactly the type of business FBP was built to invest in. In today’s macro environment, private equity is increasingly focused on cost efficiency across portfolios - and Best.Energy delivers both financial savings and carbon reduction, a true win-win.
The Best.Energy team are authorities in their field, and together we are aligned and motivated to turn the business into an absolute champion for energy efficiency.
We are excited to work with the Best.Energy team to help them grow their business and significantly scale their environmental impact.”
Over the past 18 years, Best.Energy has grown from a Cornish start-up into a global energy management provider. Today, we help organisations of all sizes - particularly those with complex, multi-site operations - achieve tangible, measurable savings and operational improvements by plugging into our energy optimisation platform.
With FBP’s support, we are now even better positioned to accelerate our mission: to elevate energy efficiency to its rightful place as the number one solution to our energy problems.
The cleanest. The cheapest. The most readily available energy resource on the planet.
Put simply - the best energy.
