The London Stadium Solar Membrane Project was the first to receive finance from the £500m Mayor of London’s Green Finance Fund (GFF). The £4.35m project will install 6,500 square metres of solar membrane panels on the stadium’s roof, with expected saving of more than 200 tonnes of carbon emissions a year and the generation of enough power for all the venue’s major events.

The project is part of a range of measures to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions at London Stadium. These include solar membranes, LED lighting, chiller and air handling improvements and kiosk energy-saving devices.
