Enersponse for Cold Storage Facilities

At Enersponse, we specialize in delivering tailored Demand Response (DR) and Automated Demand Response (ADR) solutions for cold storage facilities. Our innovative programs help businesses unlock financial incentives, ensure facility compliance, and maintain operational integrity — all without compromising product safety.


Demand Response for Cold Storage Operations

Demand response is a smart energy management strategy that helps balance electricity supply and demand, particularly during critical periods. For cold storage facilities, participating in demand response programs can provide financial incentives while supporting grid reliability. By temporarily adjusting energy usage—such as precooling before peak hours or slightly raising temperature setpoints during critical periods—you can help prevent blackouts, integrate renewable energy sources, and reduce operational costs.

How Enersponse Supports Cold Storage

We understand that cold storage facilities operate around the clock to preserve perishable goods like produce, meats, and dairy. With energy consumption as one of their largest operational costs, these facilities benefit immensely from Demand Response solutions:

  • Demand Response (DR): Participate in utility demand response programs to receive financial rewards without sacrificing product quality.

  • Automated Demand Response (ADR): Participate in demand response programs without manually shifting your load. Let your preset preferences and buildings’ current energy management system do all the work for you.

Why Choose Enersponse for your Cold Storage Facility?

Demand response doesn’t mean shutting down your facility. We work with you to identify smart strategies to offset energy consumption while keeping you in full control of operations and maintaining your products within safe and regulated conditions.

Some benefits that come with participating in demand response with Enersponse are:

  • Earn incentives for participation and earn automated demand response rebates in some markets.

  • No additional hardware is required.

  • Receive notifications in advance to prepare by pre-cooling and fine-tuning freezer parameters, ensuring compliance with mandatory temperature ranges.

  • Maintain facility parameters and mandatory temperature ranges with precision.

  • Utilize backup generators (where applicable) to ensure uninterrupted operations.

  • Flexible curtailment strategies allow you to choose how your facility participates.

Effortless Integration and Automation

Many cold storage facilities already employ advanced PLC (Programmable Logic Control) systems to manage energy use. Enersponse’s ADR solutions seamlessly integrate with these systems, allowing automated adjustments with minimal manual intervention. Whether it’s offsetting energy use during nighttime operations or managing cooling in loading docks, we provide the tools and expertise to maximize efficiency.
