Last week, the Your Eco team had the pleasure of exhibiting at Cold Chain Live in Telford, connecting with industry leaders and innovators at Stand 207. It was a fantastic opportunity to discuss the future of energy in one of the UK’s most energy-intensive sectors.
The cold chain industry—responsible for keeping goods fresh from farm to fork—faces unique challenges as energy prices fluctuate and sustainability targets become ever more ambitious. Refrigeration and temperature-controlled logistics account for a significant share of operational costs, making the case for renewable energy solutions stronger than ever.
Why renewable energy matters for cold chain operations:
Operational resilience: Solar PV paired with battery storage provides critical backup during grid outages, safeguarding valuable temperature-sensitive stock.
Cost reduction: With a typical ROI of 4–6 years, solar installations can dramatically reduce electricity bills for energy-hungry refrigeration systems.
Sustainability credentials: Commercial solar can help businesses cut their carbon footprint by 30–50 tonnes of CO₂ per year, supporting net-zero ambitions.
Future-proofing: Renewable energy protects your business from rising costs and tightening regulations.
At Your Eco, we’ve delivered over 30MW of commercial solar installations nationwide, working with facilities that demand 24/7 reliability. We know that in the cold chain sector, downtime simply isn’t an option.
Whether you manage warehouses, distribution centres, or food production sites, we’d love to continue the conversation about how renewable energy can transform your operations. If we missed you at the event, please get in touch to arrange a free desktop survey for your site.
