Contract and portfolio complexity
Multiple sites, meters, suppliers and renewal dates can create poor timing, unsuitable terms and unmanaged pass-through costs.
Warehousing & Logistics
Reduce energy costs without slowing operations.
Large roofs, vehicle movements, refrigeration and extended operating hours create a distinctive mix of opportunities.
A data-led sector review
The costs behind every shift.
Warehouses and logistics sites can carry substantial electricity costs across lighting, heating, ventilation, refrigeration, automation, security, yards and vehicle charging.
We analyse contracts, half-hourly use, demand peaks, schedules and future requirements before building one strategy across procurement, consumption, generation, storage and charging.
Common warehousing & logistics energy challenges
What needs attention.
Contract exposure, consumption and site constraints are assessed together.
Baseload, waste and demand peaks
Lighting, refrigeration, HVAC, conveyors, automation and charging can continue using power when demand is lower or work has stopped.
Capacity and future demand
Fleet electrification, automation, electric heating and expansion can place significant pressure on the existing supply.
One plan across the operation
Supply, consumption and generation are connected decisions.
The right priority depends on the contracts, how the site is used, its infrastructure and future plans.
Commercial energy procurement
Compare suitable contracts across individual sites or the portfolio using consumption, dates and operating plans.
Solar PV and battery storage
Assess roof or land, daytime demand, structural condition, network capacity and financial return.
Monitoring, efficiency and EV charging
Identify waste, improve control and plan charging around vehicles and power available at each site.
Our process
From site data to a clear plan.
Data first, priorities second, then delivery around the operation.
Understand the operation
Collect bills, contracts, half-hourly data, hours and details of refrigeration, automation and planned charging.
Set the priorities
Assess exposure, baseload, peaks, generation, capacity constraints and efficiency with costs and savings shown.
Deliver and review
Coordinate approved work around site operations and review performance as demand changes.
Our approach
Buy better. Cut waste. Plan for growth.
A lower supply price will not correct equipment running unnecessarily. A large roof does not make solar automatically worthwhile, and the fastest EV charger is not always the right one.
Buy better
Secure suitable electricity and gas contracts around consumption, timing and portfolio needs.
Reduce baseload
Find lighting, refrigeration, ventilation and other equipment consuming power unnecessarily.
Manage demand
Establish when demand peaks and whether suitable loads can be reduced, moved or controlled.
Generate and charge on-site
Assess solar, batteries and vehicle charging against capacity, schedules and the commercial case.
Why NUA Energy
A commercial view of the whole operation.
Every recommendation reflects the site, the people who use it and the evidence behind the financial case.
Decisions based on data
Recommendations begin with bills, contracts, interval data and how each site operates.
Uptime comes first
Surveys, installation and shutdowns are planned around warehouse, loading and transport schedules.
A clear financial case
Costs, savings, payback, assumptions and capacity costs are explained before decisions.
Ongoing support
Contracts and performance stay under review as sites, equipment and vehicles change.
Warehousing & Logistics energy FAQs
Useful starting points for the sector.
How can warehouses and logistics businesses reduce energy costs?+
Combine better procurement with tighter consumption control, including baseload, lighting, controls, peaks and on-site generation.
Is solar PV suitable for warehouses and distribution centres?+
Large roofs can be attractive where daytime use is consistent, but condition, structure, shading, consent, network limits and on-site use must be assessed.
Can battery storage help manage warehouse demand?+
Potentially. It may retain solar, reduce expensive imports or manage short peaks; size and operation should be modelled against half-hourly consumption.
Can our electrical supply support EV charging?+
It depends on capacity, maximum demand, vehicles and charger types. Load management may help, while some sites need network upgrades.
