Coventry Building Society Arena has partnered with E.ON to drive its decarbonisation efforts as part of Coventry City Council’s Strategic Energy Partnership.
Over the next three years, E.ON will help develop and implement a sustainability action plan for the venue.
Initial efforts will explore the installation of rooftop solar panels and EV charging points. Later phases may upgrade heating and cooling systems to eliminate gas usage and enable renewable energy solutions.
The partnership aligns with Coventry’s climate strategy to inspire broader sustainable action across the city.
Paul Michael, Managing Director at Coventry Building Society Arena, said: “This is a major milestone for our business and we are proud to be partnering with E.ON to drive the next stage of our sustainability strategy.
“E.ON is headquartered in Coventry and already has a strategic partnership in place with Coventry City Council, so this was a natural fit when we were identifying a partner as it will enable us to contribute effectively to the city’s wider strategy.
“Our partnership with E.ON isn’t only about making our own venue as sustainable as possible, it’s about making a real difference in Coventry too and inspiring communities and other businesses to think critically about their use of energy.”
Councillor, Jim O’Boyle, Cabinet Member for Jobs, Regeneration and Climate Change said, “Our 15-year Energy Partnership aims to transform Coventry with locally generated green energy, fuelling a thriving green economy and driving innovation toward a net zero future.
“This partnership between E.ON and the Coventry Building Society Arena is a real demonstration of how partnerships like this are establishing the city as a leader in sustainability and community-focused initiatives.”
