Cold storage and refrigeration businesses rely on continuous electricity to maintain temperature controlled environments, making energy a critical operating cost. Flame Energy can help cold stores, refrigerated warehouses and temperature controlled facilities manage commercial energy contracts, meters and consumption while supporting longer term cost and energy planning.
Energy efficiency and renewable generation are important considerations for the cold chain because refrigeration can account for a substantial proportion of site electricity use. Where suitable, we can help explore renewable electricity and commercial solar alongside your existing energy procurement, while improved consumption visibility can support better energy management decisions.
Because refrigeration operates continuously, cold storage businesses can have significant exposure to electricity prices. We can review your consumption profile and contract requirements, compare suitable products from suppliers on our panel and help develop a procurement approach aligned with your preferred level of budget certainty.
For operators with multiple temperature controlled sites, we can also coordinate meters, suppliers and contract end dates across the portfolio and help plan renewals in advance.
Flame Energy provides ongoing support beyond procurement. We can help coordinate suppliers, contracts, meters and energy queries across a single cold store or a multisite portfolio, providing one central point of contact throughout the contract period. Where suitable data is available, we can also help improve visibility of consumption and identify unusual changes that may warrant further investigation.
