Premier League stadium unveils state-of-the-art £4m solar panel installation which will power ground for ALL matchdays
WEST HAM have unveiled a stunning multi-million pound upgrade to the London Stadium ahead of next season. The Hammers have got their green fingers out this summer by installing a new set of solar panels on the roof of their 60,000-capacity home ground. 4 4 4 4 The feature consists of some 6,500 square metres of solar panels fully integrated into the stadium's roof, making it the largest investment of solar panels out of any UK stadium. This project - the first to be delivered under the wider Mayor of London 's £500million Green Finance Fund - cost a whopping £4.35m to implement. However, the long-term gains are set to outweigh the short-term costs. This is because the energy produced by the panels will be enough to power the London Stadium for any major events throughout the year. This will include Premier League matches, concerts and international athletics. The company behind the project, Ameresco, estimate the system will generate 850,000 kWh annually, equal to over 200 tonnes of carbon emissions or 100 transatlantic flights from London to New York. And the addition has arrived just in time for the sold-out Diamond League Novuna London Athletics Meet this weekend. CEO of UK Athletics, Jack Buckner, said: "We're incredibly proud that the Novuna London Athletics Meet is not only the biggest one-day athletics event in the world, but now also one of the most sustainable, powered by the very stadium that continues to set the global standard for sporting excellence. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK "The London Stadium is world-class in every sense, and these new solar panels show what can be achieved when innovation and legacy come together. "With a sold-out crowd this weekend, we can't wait to see the world's best athletes perform in an environment that leads the way both on and off the track." With even more sustainable projects in the works for the stadium, it is hoped that by 2026 the stadium's overall energy consumption from the national grid will drop from 12 million kWh (recorded in 2022) to 8.5 million kWh annually. London Stadium CEO, Graham Gilmore, added: " Sustainability is now front and centre for artists, athletes, and promoters alike—and as a world-class venue, we're proud to meet that expectation. "With 60,000 fans attending the Novuna London Athletics Meet this weekend, it's incredibly exciting to be powering the event with energy generated right here on site. "We're committed to being part of the climate solution." West Ham 's opening game of the Premier League season will see them travel away to Sunderland, before hosting Chelsea the following week.

Ameresco Announces Landmark $240 Million Hydropower Project, Driving Energy Resiliency and Security in Alaska
The project will help transition local industries to 100% renewable base-load energy and connect remote communities to diversified energy sources FRAMINGHAM, Mass. & JUNEAU, Alaska, July 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition, today announced its partnership with Juneau Hydropower, Inc. a recently Licensed Utility to develop, construct and operate a 19.8 megawatt (MW) hydroelectric facility at Sweetheart Lake, 33 miles south of downtown Juneau and its transmission and distribution assets. The Sweetheart Lake Hydroelectric Facility is designed to generate an average of 116,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) annually, providing a 20% increase in baseload clean hydropower over Juneau's current electrical generation. The project scope also covers the installation of a battery energy storage system (BESS), over 40 miles of high-voltage transmission infrastructure, including eight miles of undersea cable that will cross Gilbert Bay, and an interconnection substation with the existing Snettisham Transmission line adding energy security to Alaska's capital city. This utility will connect underserved, remote areas that have previously relied solely on diesel generation to a reliable, renewable energy source. These components will also enhance local grid reliability and resilience in an area with a history of extreme weather events, including a 2008 avalanche that resulted in power outages that lasted as long as two months. The project is anticipated to increase overall energy transmission in the state by 3%. "This project is the catalyst for Juneau's sustained growth and prosperity, and we've used over 40 years of hydrological data to design hydropower operational parameters so that we can reliably produce energy in even the driest of years," said Duff Mitchell, Managing Director, Juneau Hydropower. "By harnessing the power of Alaska's waters, we're investing in a future where unprecedented events can be weathered with confidence. We've worked in harmony with local environmental scientists and stakeholders to create the reliable, resilient power needed by our community." Sweetheart Lake is located within the territorial limits of the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska on the east shore of Gilbert Bay. Sweetheart Lake drains into Gilbert Bay (an arm of Port Snettisham) via Sweetheart Creek. The hydroelectric dam is expected to offset 82,012 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. It will deliver reliable, renewable baseload electricity through a process that does not burn fossil fuels, create pollution, or harm wildlife; and enhances local ecology by utilizing the Sweetheart Lake habitat as a fishery. A true economic and environmental win for Juneau, Alaska, and our Nation. One of the planned customers is Coeur Alaska, Inc.'s Kensington Mine, located 45 miles north-northwest of Juneau in the Tongass National Forest. The mine is currently powered by onsite diesel generators but is expected to transition to primarily renewable base-load energy to power operations once the Sweetheart Lake Hydroelectric Facility is operational. "This multi-faceted project is a major milestone for both Alaska, Juneau Power and Ameresco," said Nicole Bulgarino, President of Federal Solutions and Utility Infrastructure at Ameresco. "We're proud to be working on this critical hydropower project and major electrical infrastructure that has factored in both community needs and responsible development, in addition to supporting energy reliability and long-term economic growth in line with the vision outlined in the Alaska Executive Order: Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary Resource Potential." In addition to development and construction, the project includes a long-term Operations and Maintenance (O&M) contract, ensuring sustained performance.
