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.

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.
