From three brands to one vision. 
  
Edison Energy, and affiliated companies Alfa Energy and Altenex Energy, recently united under one new global name and brand - Trio. Trio provides integrated strategy and implementation services – in sustainability, renewables, energy procurement, conventional supply, energy optimization and transportation electrification – to help the world’s largest organizations meet their strategic, financial, and sustainability goals. 
  
In October 2022, Alfa Energy, which began operations in the UK in 1995 and later expanded into a number of countries in Europe, joined the Edison Energy group in order to provide integrated sustainability and energy advisory services to clients across North America and Europe. 
  
We made the decision to unify under a single global name and brand as a way to accelerate the company’s approach to serving clients by providing you with a set of integrated sustainability and energy offerings across diverse sectors and geographies. 
  
With our new name and brand, we look forward to continuing our progress towards fulfilling our strategic vision and purpose - to guide the world’s largest businesses at every step of their decarbonization journeys.
