Renewable energy partnership with Octopus Energy

Emirates Stadium with spotlights

We have been working with our partners at Octopus Energy to meet out sustainability goals and improve the environment in and around Emirates Stadium – and we”re making great progress. 

Some highlights of our partnership with Octopus Energy are:

  • We were the first Premier League club to switch to 100 per cent green electricity, supplied by a network of solar farms and anaerobic digestion plants
     
  • Since beginning our partnership with Octopus Energy in 2016, we have cut our carbon footprint by 10.7 million kilograms of CO2 which is enough to fill Emirates Stadium 6.6 times
     
  • Emirates Stadium recycles 80 per cent of matchday waste with all collected food waste sent to an anaerobic digestion plant
     
  • The club, alongside our catering partner Delaware North, regularly send food to local charities help those in need
     
  • LED floodlights have reduced floodlight energy consumption by 30 per cent
