If by lowest you mean the producers, then they have the most energy to store. As the pyramid goes up, the energy transfer is only 10%, meaning that the amount of energy that a herbivore has by eating the producer is only 10% while the other 90% is used up by the producer.
If by lowest you mean a carnivore at the top of the food chain, then they have the least amount of energy that is stored. Because of this, carnivores have to eat more to sustain their vitality.
The bottom level of an energy pyramid is made up of producers, such as plants and algae, that convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. These organisms form the foundational layer of the food chain by providing energy for all other organisms in the ecosystem.
The level on the energy pyramid with the most biomass is usually the bottom level, which consists of producers like plants and algae. These organisms have the highest biomass because they are able to convert the energy from the sun into food through photosynthesis.
The bottom part of the energy pyramid, or trophic level, is the largest because it represents producers like plants that have the most energy available. These producers convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, which is then transferred to herbivores and up the food chain. As energy is lost as heat with each transfer, there needs to be a large base of producers to support higher trophic levels.

The producers (such as plants) at the bottom level of an energy pyramid have the most available energy. As you move up the pyramid to higher trophic levels, energy is lost through metabolic processes and heat, resulting in less energy being available to organisms at higher levels.

The pyramid of energy shows the flow of energy through trophic levels in an ecosystem, with most energy lost as heat at each level. The pyramid of numbers represents the number of organisms at each trophic level, with the base usually being the most numerous. Both pyramids illustrate the relationships between different trophic levels in an ecosystem but focus on different aspects - energy flow for the pyramid of energy and population distribution for the pyramid of numbers.
The bottom layer of pyramid that represents ecosystem producers is the ecological pyramids. The top layers represent consumers. In the energy pyramid the bottom levels have more energy than the top levels.
An energy pyramid is wide at the bottom because it represents the large amount of energy available at the producer level. As you move up the pyramid to higher trophic levels, less energy is available because energy is lost as heat through respiration and metabolism, resulting in less energy being transferred to each successive level. This explains why the pyramid narrows towards the top.
