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.

Installation in Bay Area industrial warehouse to manage high energy costs caused by peak energy pricing and reduce electricity demand by over 55 percent.

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.

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.

The 2018 Energy Storage Summit is being held February 27-28 in London, England. The Energy Storage Summit is attended by developers, financiers, utilities, networks and aggregators discussing standalone storage, co-located and C&I applications, top case studies from around the world with innovative business models and positioning of utilities, as well as completed EFR projects, co-location and utilities’ strategies.

James Bell, Viking Cold CEO, will be speaking at the Technology Comparison Session at the summit to ensure everyone knows that the cold storage market, formerly inaccessible because of its continuous, high electricity demand, now has an environmentally friendly and economical energy storage solution with thermal energy storage (TES).

James was interviewed prior to the show to share more about Viking Cold Solutions and the value the TES technology brings to operators and the utility providers.  Click here to read the full interview.

Viking Cold’s Thermal Energy Storage technology was being installed in a low-temp warehouse owned by Bashas’ Family of Stores, an Arizona-based, family-owned and operated grocery chain.  The project was incentivized by the local utility, Salt River Project.
