Lidl Slovenia reports cooling system issues amid prolonged heatwave

Lidl Slovenia is experiencing challenges with its cooling equipment amid a persistent heatwave, reporting occasional, short-term disruptions. The company attributes these issues to the extreme weather conditions, which are placing increased demands on their refrigeration systems and the broader electrical grid.

According to Lidl, the exceptionally high temperatures and humidity have affected the performance of their cooling units. These systems are crucial for maintaining the quality and safety of chilled and frozen goods. The increased load on the power grid is also cited as a contributing factor to the intermittent failures.
