There is more energy stored at the producer level. This is because producers, like plants, capture energy from the sun through photosynthesis and convert it into chemical energy, which then gets passed on to consumers when they eat the producers. As energy is transferred up the food chain, some is lost as heat, so the amount of energy available decreases at higher trophic levels.
