Learn how CubeCold Moerdijk implemented solar power to make up to 40% of its total energy consumption cheaper.

For Cube Cold, a leading service provider in refrigeration and freezing logistics, was threatened with the impact of network congestion. As a result, the company was forced to use alternative energy sources to guarantee security of supply. This resulted in (unnecessarily) high costs due to the forced use of generators. This is not a sustainable solution, and the unlimited use of generators is subject to legal restrictions.
That's why CubeCold Moerdijk looked for a sustainable and cost-efficient energy solution. Here they ended up with solar energy. The company also wanted to use solar power to make better use of the flexibility of its cold stores. This reduces the high costs associated with grid congestion.

The market of solar power is complex. It requires a great deal of knowledge and skill to determine the most appropriate setup and configuration of solar panels, including correct payback periods.
The market consists of many solar installers: from excellent parties to so-called “cowboys”. To prevent costly missteps, they called in QING to independently supervise this process. From calculations to technical realization with the most suitable installer.
“We can now use our cold store more flexibly thanks to the solar installation, saving costs and operating more sustainably.” - Frans van Helden - CFO Cube Cold
Step 1: Simulations for optimal solar panel setup
Before requesting quotes, QING analyzed various setup options from solar panels. Thanks to simulations, the revenues per setup were mapped.
This gave CubeCold Moerdijk a good idea of the potential savings. It also ensures optimal preparation for the tender process to better compare solar installers.
Step 2: Independent tender process for solar installers
We developed guidelines for installers and, as an independent party, assessed the received offers. Thanks to the simulations, unrealistic offers were deleted and incorrect information was identified in time to prevent high investment costs.
Step 3: Realization of a solar installation
QING assisted with project management and maintained contact with the installer of the solar installation. This not only saved CubeCold Moerdijk time, but ultimately resulted in a shorter implementation time.
With a potential of up to 40% of its total energy consumption from solar power, CubeCold Moerdijk is less dependent on traditional energy sources. The impact of grid congestion has thus been reduced.
After the realization of the solar system, the savings on the use of generators were identified. The final step is to implement an Energy Management System.
