Powering transport & logistics

Transport and logistics organisations face rising energy costs, increasing electrification and growing pressure to reduce emissions, resulting in an energy strategy being a core necessity in your business operations. We help you make informed energy decisions that improve cost control, operational continuity and long-term competitiveness.

Energy is becoming a strategic business driver for transport and logistics

Reliable and affordable energy is essential for keeping vehicles moving, warehouses operational and supply chains running efficiently. As fleets become increasingly electrified, energy decisions directly influence operational performance and long-term costs.

At the same time, organisations must balance commercial objectives with sustainability targets and changing market conditions. Managing procurement, renewable energy and flexibility together helps create greater control in an increasingly complex energy landscape.

Rather than treating energy as a fixed operational cost, many transport and logistics companies now view it as a strategic asset that supports growth and resilience. Combined with planning further ahead in your energy procurement needs.

Challenges

The energy challenges facing transport and logistics

Energy is becoming increasingly connected to the day-to-day performance of transport and logistics operations. Rising market volatility, fleet electrification, grid constraints and sustainability requirements create new considerations for both costs and continuity. Understanding how these developments affect your organisation is an important first step towards making informed energy decisions.

Managing volatile energy prices

Fluctuating electricity and gas prices make budgeting more difficult and can significantly impact operational margins and increase risk.

Fleet electrification

The transition to electric vehicles increases electricity demand and places greater pressure on existing grid connections. Especially when you operate a fleed of larger sized vehicles like trucks. 

Limited grid capacity

Grid congestion can delay charging infrastructure, warehouse expansion and other electrification projects such as the addition of solar energy to your warehouse. 

Sustainability expectations

Customers, investors and regulators increasingly expect measurable progress towards lower emissions and more sustainable operations. 

Operational continuity

Energy disruptions or poorly aligned procurement strategies can affect business continuity across transport networks and logistics facilities.

Trends

Market developments shaping the sector

Electrification continues to accelerate

Electric fleets, charging infrastructure and energy management are becoming integral parts of modern logistics operations. 

 
Energy management becomes more strategic

As electricity consumption grows through electrification, organisations need greater insight into procurement strategies, renewable sourcing and energy consumption to maintain control over costs and operational continuity. 

 
Sustainability becomes a competitive advantage

 Reducing emissions can strengthens customer relationships and supports procurement requirements throughout the supply chain. This combined with the ever increasing pressure on rules and regulations regarding emissions in the logistics sector such as the addition of the transport sector to the European Emissions Trading System (ETS), make becoming more sustainable a must, not an additive.

Our take

We believe transport and logistics companies should focus on delivering reliable operations, not managing increasingly complex energy markets. While you keep supply chains moving, we help you make informed energy decisions with clear market insights, transparent advice and practical guidance with a clear view towards the future.
FAQ

What others ask

 

How can Scholt Energy help reduce our energy costs?

Rather than predicting market prices, we develop procurement strategies tailored to your organisation's energy consumption, business objectives and risk profile. By continuously monitoring the energy markets and providing clear purchasing recommendations, we help you make informed decisions rather than reacting to short-term market movements. 

Can you support organisations that are electrifying their fleet?

Yes, we help organisations develop an energy procurement strategy that supports increasing electricity demand through fleet electrification. We combine market expertise, renewable sourcing options and strategic guidance to help you prepare for future energy needs. 

Do you only supply electricity?

No, we support medium and large organisations with electricity, gas and renewable energy sourcing as part of an integrated energy approach.

What if our grid connection limits expansion?

Grid congestion is becoming an increasingly important consideration for transport and logistics organisations. We help you understand how grid limitations affect your energy strategy and explore procurement and renewable sourcing options that fit your operational plans.

Is renewable energy suitable for our business?

Renewable sourcing can support both sustainability ambitions and long-term procurement strategies. The most suitable solution depends on your operational requirements and business objectives.

What if I also produce electricity at my site?

We offer services that help business owners fit their self-supply into their business model with CPPA offerings.
