What UK businesses need to stay competitive
Energy remains one of the biggest challenges facing the UK cold chain sector. With electricity costs continuing to rise and the Clean Power 2030 target approaching, cold storage operators are under increasing pressure to manage operating costs, maintain competitiveness and make informed investment decisions.
The cold chain is highly energy intensive, spending an estimated £1.2 billion on electricity on 2024.

Grid disruption could pose a real threat to the cold chain, but it is not seen as critical industry.
