Lincoln Financial Field, home of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, has launched 11,000 photovoltaic solar panels and 14 wind turbines that provide up to 3 megawatts of power, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
On sunny days when games are not being played, the installations will feed power back into the grid, but over the course of the year, renewable energy generators are expected to provide about 30 percent of the stadium's power. The rest of the stadium's energy needs will be covered by renewable energy credits, the newspaper reported.
The panels, supplied by NRG, are located on the roof, above some parking spaces and along the side of the building. NRG paid the project's initial costs of $30 million. The Eagles will then lease the power at a predetermined rate back from NRG, the newspaper reported. The Renewable Energy Plan was announced in 2012. In 2010, the Eagles announced and then shelved a renewable energy project with SolarBlue.
NRG has designed solar panels for at least four other professional Saudi Arabia Mobile Number List football stadiums: FedExField in Maryland, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Patriot Place Mall located outside Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, and the new Santa Clara Stadium currently under construction in Santa Clara. California, near San Francisco Bay. Collectively, these projects will provide professional football stadiums with 7.5 MW of power during peak hours.
The FedExField project includes electric vehicle charging stations, thousands of solar panels and a solar sculpture. At Patriot Place, NRG installed 3,000 standard translucent solar panels that produce about 60 percent of the market's electricity.
Once completed, Santa Clara Stadium will be California's first zero-emission sports venue, according to NRG. The new home of the San Francisco 49ers is being built from approximately 80,000 cubic yards of low-CO2 concrete.
The last Super Bowl host committee donated carbon credits to offset approximately 3.8 million pounds of CO2 emissions. In addition to offsetting the Super Bowl's energy impact, all major sites offered recycling, and the host committee teamed up with the Green Project and Repurcing NOLA to return Super Bowl banners, displays, signs and other promotional materials to be recycled into tote bags. , wallets, shower curtains and other souvenirs.
