Octopus launched to consumers in April 2016 with a commitment to renewable energies and fair pricing and currently is the UK’s largest investor in solar energy. The new long-term partnership with Arsenal is designed to grow the business even further.
Arsenal supporters in the UK will also benefit from the partnership, via a new tariff from Octopus Energy which will provide fans with the same 100 percent renewable electricity that powers Emirates Stadium. Fans will also be able to access a range of club-related benefits including monthly prize draws to win official signed merchandise and VIP stadium tours.
The partnership will also give Octopus Energy branding at all domestic fixtures played at Emirates Stadium and hospitality on home match days. In addition, they will be able to access Arsenal’s digital channels and run promotional activities and marketing initiatives featuring first-team players.
“We are delighted to be partnering with Octopus Energy, who become our first official energy partner” said Vinai Venkatesham, Arsenal’s Chief Commercial Officer. This partnership with Octopus is a positive step towards improving our contribution to environmental sustainability. We will be working closely with them to develop renewable power supplies, as well as providing special offers for Arsenal fans in the UK. We look forward to supporting Octopus Energy in the growth of their business.”
Greg Jackson, Founder of Octopus Energy, added that becoming Arsenal’s first energy partner is a massive step for the company in championing greener, fairer energy for Britain. The company is delighted to be working with the club to switch Emirates Stadium to green energy, at a cost cheaper than that of the big energy companies.
