The system, supplied by energy demand and response business REstore, will identify opportunities for ACS&T to reduce power usage during peak periods at its cold store, cutting costs and improving efficiency.
REstore’s Demand Response allows energy suppliers and transmission grid operators to look to energy users to relieve the energy market and the grid of excess demand at critical times.
REstore will install equipment to monitor ACS&T’s electricity usage in its cold store, limiting unnecessary power usage at peak times.
If the trial is successful, the system will be rolled out to the company’s other three sites: Grimsby, Wolverhampton and Scarborough. Its estates include 12 cold stores, three ambient stores and large, dedicated and shared-user, multi-temperature transport fleets.
