Your products depend on consistent temperatures, and your refrigeration systems need power around the clock. Changes in inventory, weather, and facility activity can affect consumption, while temperature requirements shape how much flexibility you have to manage demand.

5 reviews your usage, contracts, and operating plans to recommend purchasing and hedging strategies. We also help evaluate demand response, on-site generation, and resiliency options based on your refrigeration requirements, whether you manage a single facility or a network of cold storage locations.

How we help

• Energy purchasing and hedging: Evaluate purchasing timing, pricing structures, and market exposure based on expected consumption and your tolerance for variable costs.

• Customized supply contracts: Review product structures and contract terms to account for refrigeration loads, seasonal usage, and anticipated operating changes.

• Demand response: Assess program requirements, potential payments, and your facility’s ability to adjust consumption or use eligible generation while maintaining required storage conditions.

• Peak demand management: Review how refrigeration and other equipment contribute to demand-related costs. Evaluate practical options with your facilities team, accounting for temperature limits and operating schedules.

• On-site generation and microgrids: Assess generation and microgrid options based on critical refrigeration loads, reliability needs, and project economics.

• Sustainability: Help develop, implement, and communicate an ESG strategy that incorporates energy purchasing and cold storage operations.
