Decarbonise Cold Storage
Sherwood Power’s Free Air Bank delivers high-efficiency, zero-emissions energy storage for cold storage facilities. Maximise profits by banking low-cost electrons to power your operations when grid prices are highest.
The Problem
Cold storage is one of the most energy-intensive industrial sectors, operating 24/7 to maintain strict temperature control. Energy use can accounts for up to 70% of a facility’s operational costs with demand often peaking during the most expensive grid periods. At the same time, operators face growing pressure to decarbonise and improve energy resilience.
Grid access is another critical challenge. Many facilities are located near ports or industrial hubs where local networks are already congested. Upgrading or expanding connections is often slow, expensive, and uncertain.
