We’re pleased to share that solar panels have been installed at the Valley Stadium!
A significant step in our continued sustainability journey, the installation of solar panels further adds to our Carbon Neutral status (more here), with our sights set on becoming net neutral.
The installation was made possible thanks to England Football & E.ON Next, who recently announced a long-term partnership to support the grassroots football community by introducing a new decarbonisation programme to help clubs reduce their energy costs and help the environment. In February 2026, we were awarded over £65,000 to install solar panels and storage batteries at the Valley Stadium.
It’s estimated that, as a result of these solar panels, we will save 5.76 tonnes of CO2e and 32,532 kWh annually.
The Valley Stadium is an incredibly busy facility, open 7 days a week and often 14 hours a day. These solar panels will save the football club thousands of pounds, whilst reducing our carbon footprint and helping the environment.
You can learn more about our sustainability efforts and work in the local community in our 2026 Social Impact Report.
