Peak Demand Response

Award Winner

AmeriCold

Americold Logistics LLCAmeriCold Logistics LLC is a leading provider of temperature-controlled food. Cold warehousing is an extremely energy intensive business and provides a good opportunity to participate in SCE's demand response program. When a DR event is called AmeriCold takes action the night before by lowering temperatures in their freezers from 0° to -5°. The next day they keep all the doors shut and the lights off to maintain the cold while shutting down their engine rooms during peak energy use times. During those times they also shut off office lights, break room lights and air conditioners. Through this simple yet effective strategy AmeriCold has been able to cut a maximum of 1881 kW, or 60% of their peak demand.
