Online and print publication Energy CIO Insights features Viking Cold’s technology and the energy flexibility it provides through an interview with our
CEO, James Bell.
James describes how our Thermal Energy Storage (TES) technology protects food, saves energy in the global cold chain, and benefits utilities.
The well-known utility industry publication, Utility Dive, posted an article discussing how Viking Cold’s thermal energy storage (TES) technology provides new access to the incredibly heavy energy load of cold storage facilities.
Utility Dive provides professionals with a bird’s-eye-view of the utility industry through industry news, original analysis, and published in-depth feature articles.
European publication Frozen Foods Europe featured an article discussing how Viking Cold’s Thermal Energy Storage (TES) technology will help cold storage providers meet the EU’s energy goals. Our TES systems help meet these standards by reducing energy consumption, improving refrigeration efficiencies, and providing energy storage capacity in situations when alternative generation sources like solar and wind are being implemented.
Frozen Food Europe is dedicated to management level professionals in the frozen food industry: retailers, food service and catering, importers, exporters, producers, equipment manufacturers, providers of cold storage solutions, and processing plants and factories.
RICHMOND, Calif. & Houston–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Viking Cold Solutions, the leading Thermal Energy Storage (TES) provider for the low-temperature cold storage industry, today announced it 
is partnering with a leading cold chain logistics provider in Northern California, Dreisbach Enterprises, to ensure temperature stability and manage energy usage at its Richmond warehouse. By installing a Viking Cold TES system, Dreisbach is again demonstrating their customer focus by adding more product temperature stability measures while reducing the electricity demand of the facility by over 55 percent – from 850 kilowatts to 400 kilowatts for 11 hours each day – and reducing its total electricity consumption by as much as 35 percent.
Low-temperature cold storage facilities require the highest energy demand per cubic foot of any industrial electricity load. In some markets, peak demand charges comprise up to 70 percent of a facility’s electricity bill, encouraging customers to shut off equipment during peak periods. This ‘fly-wheeling’ tactic can cause micro-thawing and micro-freezing, which degrades cell structure and reduces the quality and shelf life of foods. TES serves as a much-needed heat sink to manage heat infiltration, protect product, increase refrigeration efficiencies and reduce peak demand costs.

Leading utility-focused publication T&D World published an article about Viking Cold’s Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems being installed in a low-temperature warehouse owned by Bashas Family of Stores’ near Phoenix, AZ. This installation is a project in conjunction with Salt River Project (SRP), the local utility provider, to demonstrate how Viking Cold’s TES technology lowers demand in the C&I space during peak periods.
T&D World’s mission is to provide utility executives, managers, engineers, supervisors, operators and linemen with must-read information on the design, engineering, construction, operation and maintenance of the electric power-delivery system.
Viking Cold Solutions, Inc. and Dreisbach Enterprises were selected to be first presenters in a brand new webinar series hosted by the Global Cold Chain Alliance (GCCA) and brought to you by Tippman Innovation. Collin Coker of Viking Cold and Jason Dreisbach of Dreisbach Enterprises share how Thermal Energy Storage has helped Dreisbach’s California facility re-balance the scale between temperature stability and energy charges for low-temperature cold storage facilities. They talk through data-backed information on how thermal energy storage serves as a much-needed heat sink to balance energy and protect customers’ products. Jason further describes why his company chose to embrace this thermal energy solution, describes their experience with installation, and how the technology transformed their operation.
