Enel Green Power North America is partnering with Kraft Sports and Entertainment to ensure that all New England Patriots’ American football games in the 2021 season at the Gillette Stadium are more sustainable with clean energy.
The deal will see Enel supply the stadium with locally generated, zero emission clean energy through renewable energy credits (RECs).
Enel has procured nearly 900,000 kilowatt-hours of RECs from the local New England power grid to match the electricity consumed by Gillette Stadium during the 2021 New England Patriots and New England Revolutions regular season and potential post-season games.
Enel North America Enrico Viale said: “Through Enel’s partnership with Kraft Sports + Entertainment we are helping to bring a more sustainable entertainment experience to guests at Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place alike, showing that sustainability and sport go hand-in-hand.
“From renewable energy to electric vehicle charging and emissions reduction services and solutions, Enel’s partnership with Kraft demonstrates the positive impact and outcomes of an integrated, sustainable energy strategy.”
Kraft Sports and Entertainment president of sales Murray Kohl said: “Kraft Sport Sports and Entertainment has made increased sustainability a top priority since the creation of Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place, and it remains one today.
“We’re excited to expand our partnership with Enel as we look to further these efforts through renewable energy credits and provide Patriot and Revolution fans with the most sustainable sporting and entertainment experience possible.”
