Joie Stadium becomes 'one of most sustainable stadiums in world football'
- Published
Manchester City have installed 2,878 solar panels on the roof of Joie Stadium.
The installation at the home of City's women's team is the first phase in a wider project that will see more than 10,000 solar panels added across the City Football Academy.
The club say once the project is complete, "the panels will generate enough renewable energy to offset the annual power requirements needed to run the City Football Academy, making it one of the largest producers of renewable energy in world football".
City are aiming to be net carbon zero by 2030.
"By transitioning to self-supplied renewable energy, we will guarantee a consistent flow of clean power that offsets the energy required to run the stadium and significantly reduce its environmental impact," said the club's director of sustainability, Pete Bradshaw.
"In doing so, this installation undoubtedly makes the Joie Stadium one of the most sustainable stadiums in world football."
