Cold stores in trouble due to high energy costs

  • 15 June 2022

Nekovri - the association of Dutch cold-storage and freezer stores - indicates that member companies of the association are confronted with very high energy costs, and that this can lead to financial problems. In a manifesto presented by Nekovri to the Dutch Lower House, the association calls for support measures by reducing the energy tax and advancing the announced reduction in the ODE tax.

Most refrigeration and freezer companies are large-scale consumers of energy, but their consumption is just not enough to benefit from the tax advantages of large-scale consumers. On average, the companies use between 50,000 and 10 million kilowatt hours, making the energy tax about 25 times higher than for users who use more than 10 million kilowatt hours.
