English Premier League football club Arsenal has teamed up with solar energy company Octopus to develop renewable power supplies for its Emirates Stadium.
Octopus has agreed a deal to become Arsenal’s official energy partner in the UK and will work on a long-term plan to produce a renewable energy programme for the club.
UK-based Arsenal fans will also benefit from the deal, with a new tariff to be made available that provides supporters with the same eco-friendly electricity that is set to power Emirates Stadium.
In return, the Octopus brand will be promoted during Arsenal’s Premier League games at the Emirates, while it will be granted hospitality experiences on some match days.
Octopus will also have access to Arsenal players for use in promotional activities and marketing initiatives.
“Becoming Arsenal’s first energy partner is a massive step for us in championing greener, fairer energy for Britain,” Octopus founder Greg Jackson said. “We are thrilled to be working with the club to switch Emirates Stadium to green energy. We are passionate that greener energy is critical to the future of our planet, and for many people can be cheaper than with big energy companies.”
