Our society must make the transition to renewable energy. The electrification of the energy sector is an important part of this transition. By producing their own green energy, companies can reduce their dependence on the energy market. For individual companies it can be very challenging to match energy production and demand and to locally store their produced electricity.
However, logistic companies have got underused options for local energy production and storage, like the installation of solar panels (on large roofs) and windmills (at locations remote from residential areas). In addition these companies provide opportunities for energy buffering in refrigerators and batteries for (internal) means of transport.
The effectiveness can greatly improve by cooperation between companies in the same region in a Local Energy Community, that shares production and storage capacity and match their energy use.
