Wasps and
npower are launching a partnership to further enhance
the
Ricoh Arena’s sustainable approach to energy, helping power sport, business
and entertainment at the Arena.
npower will be installing a Combined Heat and Power plant at the
Ricoh Arena, which will mean that
Wasps will be generating their own
electricity on site, as well as creating heat for the stadium and the under
pitch heating system.
As one of Britain’s largest energy companies, and part of the
Innogy SE group,
npower serves around five million residential and business
accounts with electricity and gas.
The new partnership will see
npower launch an exclusive tariff for
Wasps rugby and netball fans, as well as visitors to the
Ricoh Arena in 2018.
Fans will also benefit from a series of exclusive customer offers, competitions
and energy saving tips for their home and family.
Stuart Cain, Commercial Director of Wasps and the Ricoh Arena,
said: “
We are delighted to be partnering with npower. This is a powerful
partnership for both the club and Arena. npower’s technical expertise and
infrastructure is a game changer in the way our Arena can power our three
business drivers of sport, business and entertainment.
“npower shares Wasps’ values in the commitment to our local
community and the new tariff offering will be an exciting addition for our
fans. We are excited to be working with such a well-known brand and one that
further enhances our growing family of blue chip partners."
Andy Wiggans, Commercial & Marketing Director for npower,
added: “
We’re delighted to be joining the Wasps family in a partnership which
will see us supply power and gas to the Ricoh Arena and partner on a number of
ground-breaking energy saving measures. We’ll also be working alongside Wasps
RFC and Netball to support the local community and give fans the chance to get
even closer to their team. We can’t wait to get stuck in.”
