The solution for the struggling refrigerated logistics industry suffering from rising electricity costs lies in the utilization of solar energy.
The soaring electricity prices are hitting frozen logistics hard.
[Our Construction Numbers and Client List] Total accumulated construction cost: 908.4 billion yen, with 83 solar power plants built over 12 years. Notable clients include Sharp, Panasonic, Daiwa House, Nomura Securities, Mitsubishi HC Capital, JA Mitsui Leasing, DMM.com, KKR, Macquarie Capital, Canadian Solar, Trina Solar, J Holdings, RE100 Power, Excelsior Japan, WindSmile, B&M Asset Management, AD Works, Sparks Asset Management, Etrion, and many others. Amid record-breaking heat waves, warehouses and logistics centers handling frozen foods are in distress. The operation of refrigeration units and automated warehouses requires a large amount of electricity, and electricity prices have increased by more than 30-50% compared to the previous year. Furthermore, there are reports of some businesses facing **"requests for a 2-fold price increase"** as they approach contract renewals this autumn. According to industry association surveys, there are already cases where the proportion of electricity costs in storage fees has exceeded 20%, leading to a situation where price transfer and negotiations with shippers are unavoidable. Due to the nature of frozen logistics, which prioritizes quality preservation, there are limits to energy-saving efforts, and the "electricity price risk" is becoming the biggest challenge for management.

Don't Fail! Key Points for Choosing a Reliable Solar Power Construction Contractor" Catalog Now Available! The Necessity of "Securing Power" to Support Logistics Infrastructure Refrigerated logistics is an essential infrastructure for daily life, including ice and frozen foods. However, it has a vulnerability where the cost structure can suddenly fluctuate depending on the contract terms with power companies and changes in international fuel market conditions. If this continues, it could lead to: - Increased burden on consumers due to price transfers - Elimination of small and medium-sized warehouses due to profit pressure - Decreased stability in food distribution These could trigger a chain of social issues. - Target Subsidy: Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry "Next-Generation Technology Development Demonstration Project Subsidy

Reducing risks with renewable energy This is where "self-consumption solar power generation" comes into focus. In particular, warehouse roofs are vast and provide an ideal environment for solar installation. By introducing solar power: - Stabilization of electricity costs (utilizing long-term PPA contracts and leases) - Avoidance of risks from rising electricity prices (self-generated power is not affected by fuel adjustment costs) - Enhancement of corporate value (responding to decarbonization efforts and ESG demands from customers) These benefits can be obtained.
