Key Takeaways
Grocery Outlet partnered with Axiom Cloud to cut energy costs through demand response participation using refrigeration as a flexible load.
Axiom's IO Program enables grocery stores to participate in utility demand response events without compromising food safety or product quality.
Demand response revenue can offset refrigeration operating costs — turning compliance-driven monitoring investments into profit centers.
Grocery Outlet's experience demonstrates the financial case for treating refrigeration as a managed energy asset, not just a maintenance cost.
📊 Stat: Commercial refrigeration accounts for 40–60% of a grocery store's total electricity consumption, making it the highest-impact area for both energy reduction and demand response participation for food retailers (U.S. Energy Information Administration).
