Power Outages in the Food & Beverage Industry

No matter how reliable and resilient an electrical grid is, the power will go out from time to time. But, regardless if it’s short term or long term, power outages can result in significant losses for some industries, including hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost perishable inventory for grocery stores and other cold storage facilities.

Foodsafety.gov recommends supermarket operators discard any perishable food (such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs and leftovers) that has been above 40°F for over two hours. Further, most higher-end supermarkets will often dispose of “highly visible” inventory like red meat and seafood after the smallest power disruption to ensure public trust in quality and freshness.

We are the nation’s premier generator set maintenance and repair management organization. We offer clients with a nationwide network of generators a unique service that includes a single point of contact for all generators nationwide.
