Part of this is not energy savings, but food safety - doorless fridges often have some products near the front that aren't kept to the required sub-5C. Meat products often require 0-3C nowadays too, which is an even narrower range and even harder to meet across all products in a doorless fridge.

Lower and more precise temperatures reduces food waste, which indirectly reduces both costs and energy use.
