Solar panels help drive London Stadium sustainability goals

The project will enable the Stadium to save more than 200 tonnes of carbon emissions a year and generate enough to power all the venue’s major events. It is part of a range of measures to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions at London Stadium. These include solar membranes, LED lighting, chiller and air handling improvements and kiosk energy-saving devices, backed up by a campaign to encourage Stadium staff to reduce energy consumption.

These current measures will reduce the Stadium energy use by 1.9 million kWh by March 2025, and at that point the roof solar savings will drive a further reduction of at least 0.8 million kWh, and a further saving of between 10% -15% on electricity costs. In total, between 2022 and 2026 the stadium will reduce energy drawn from the national grid by 3 million kWh – from 11.5million kWh per annum to 8.5 million.
