“From the Sun to the Scoreboard”, These 5 Football Arenas Are Powered by Solar Panels.

Bandung (19/06/23) In the era of sustainability and renewable energy, football stadiums around the world are trying to become more environmentally friendly by adopting Solar Power Plants (PLTS). By utilizing sunlight as an energy source, these stadiums provide a good example in preserving the environment while providing modern sports facilities. Here are five football stadiums that have adopted PLTS.

1. Olympiastadion, Munich, Germany: The Olympiastadion in Munich, Germany, has installed solar panels on its roof. With over 4,000 solar panels, the stadium generates enough electricity to meet its daily electricity needs and contributes excess energy to the local power grid. This helps make the Olympiastadion a more sustainable stadium and reduce carbon emissions.

2. Soccer City Stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa: Soccer City Stadium, which hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final, is an iconic stadium located in Johannesburg, South Africa. To harness renewable energy, the stadium has installed a solar power system with around 2,000 solar panels on its roof. This system generates significant amounts of electricity, helping the stadium reduce its dependence on conventional energy sources.

3. Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta, Indonesia: Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, which is Indonesia's national stadium located in Jakarta, has taken steps to use renewable energy. In an effort to increase the use of renewable energy in the country, the plan is to install a solar power plant at the stadium. When the solar power plant is operational, the stadium will be able to reduce energy consumption from fossil fuels.

4. Stade de Suisse, Bern, Switzerland: The Stade de Suisse, located in Bern, Switzerland, is a famous football stadium that has installed solar power.
