From the get-go, Fuse Energy founders Charles Orr and Alan Chang questioned the outdated processes and infrastructure inherent in the energy sector. They didn’t want to fix a broken system, they wanted to build a new one. Their radical approach is enabling an abundant verticalised energy supply. With international expansion on the cards, Fuse needed the scale and sector expertise of a global partner that matched their extraordinary trajectory.

  1. Fuse Energy saw what others missed: energy didn’t need fixing, it needed rebuilding. Founders Charles Orr and Alan Chang set out to disrupt the sector with a smarter, direct-to-home energy model.
  2. Combining renewable generation, intelligent optimisation software and direct consumer delivery, Fuse removes costly intermediaries to make energy cheaper and more efficient.
  3. As Fuse prepares for international expansion, they need a global banking partner who can match their ambition.

From the get-go, Fuse Energy co-founders Charles Orr and Alan Chang questioned the outdated processes and ageing infrastructure inherent in the global energy sector. Where others sought to patch a broken system with incremental change, Fuse took the far more ambitious route: rebuilding the system from the ground up, to create a smarter and ultimately more abundant direct-to-home energy supply.

Fuse owns and operates its own low-carbon generation assets, including solar and wind farms. This allows them to produce their own electricity rather than purely buying it from third parties. By combining large-scale wind and solar generation with the latest optimisation software and direct-to-consumer distribution, Fuse is stripping away the inefficiencies and intermediaries that have defined traditional utilities for decades.

What makes Fuse especially compelling is the scale of its vision. This is not a conventional energy supplier. This is an infrastructure and technology company rebuilding one of the world’s most critical industries for the digital age. Long before the wider market recognised the opportunity, Charles and Alan understood that the future of energy would belong to companies capable of owning the supply and the intelligent software systems to deliver energy directly to consumers at scale.

In an industry constrained by legacy systems and slow-moving incumbents, Fuse Energy represents a rare breakthrough, a company treating energy not as a commodity, but as a technology platform capable of transforming everyday life.

With international expansion now firmly on the horizon, Fuse needed the scale, expertise and sector understanding of a global partner capable of matching the pace and ambition of their extraordinary trajectory.
