Social Energy

What Social Energy does

Social Energy, operating under the Levelise brand, is a UK-based residential energy technology company that optimizes home battery storage systems through a hardware-plus-software platform. Its core products are the Levelise Hub line of physical devices (Hub 1.5 outdoor and the newer Hub 2) that sit alongside a homeowner's existing battery storage system and automatically schedule charging during low-rate periods, avoid peak-rate periods, and bid the battery into UK grid flexibility markets to generate payments. A companion mobile app (the Levelise App, also distributed under the 'Social Energy' brand on Google Play and the Apple App Store) provides real-time visibility into savings, earnings, and performance without requiring a subscription fee.

The business monetizes through two streams: one-time hardware sales of the Hub (priced at the point of sale by certified installers, with list pricing not publicly disclosed) and ongoing, usage-based revenue from flexibility market participation on behalf of homeowners, where payments are based on historical performance of customers that have been operational for at least 36 months. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce (shop.levelise.com) and app store channels with a certified installer network responsible for hardware deployment in UK homes. Target customers are UK residential homeowners who have already invested in home battery storage and want to reduce electricity bills, lower their carbon footprint, and monetize grid flexibility services through their existing battery assets.

The company is a privately held private limited company in England and Wales (Levelise Limited, Company number 10653159), holds a registered Levelise® trademark, and operates from the Hayakawa Building at Oxford Science Park. It is part of the Brookfield Asset Management ecosystem, indicated by Brookfield's whistleblowing hotline appearing on the Levelise website footer and references to BU-UK group sustainability reporting; the founder is Julian Wiley, and headcount is reported in the 101–250 range. Note: the company-profile data contains a conflicting founding year (2013 in firmographics vs. 2017 in the entity timeline block); the 2017 date is supported by the Levelise Limited company registration and is used here.
