Supporting the cold chain sector with energy expertise
As one of the UK’s leading business energy providers, npower Business Solutions’ (nBS) firm grasp of the cold chain market is built into our DNA.
As part of our annual Business Energy Tracker report, we know that energy has become the number one concern for 79% of large UK businesses.* And with the government’s commitment to Clean Power 2030, costs are only set to increase, with more than 65% of electricity invoices now funding green energy subsidies and network infrastructure.
For the cold chain sector, which we recognise as a cornerstone of supply chain stability, power consumption is especially high. Reliability, flexibility and cost control are critical, and energy cannot be treated as a simple commodity; it must be actively managed as part of wider operational and commercial strategy.
That’s why nBS has joined the Cold Chain Federation (CCF) as a Platinum Partner, to share insights and co-create solutions tailored to your challenges. Through this partnership, our aim is to support members by:
• Developing a deep, practical understanding of the sector’s specific energy challenges, risks, and future opportunities
• Providing clear, independent market education to help businesses navigate policy changes and market reform with confidence
• Applying specialist expertise in assets, technology, and flexibility to unlock operational efficiencies and new sources of value
• Using our commercial and commodity market insight to help reduce cost, manage risk, and improve long-term outcomes
• Working with the CCF to ensure the sector’s energy-related concerns are clearly articulated and represented to government
Through this partnership, CCF members can access our award-winning educational resources and gain access to clear, concise, and joined-up insight from our trading and flexibility, energy management, and on-site generation specialists backed by proven results across your sector.
Our focus is on being a long-term partner to the cold chain sector – taking the time to understand your operational pressures, commercial risks, and future opportunities, and work closely with policymakers to ensure your sector’s priorities are heard.
We look forward to working more closely with the CCF and supporting your business.
