Solar photovoltaic client case study – OL GROUPAMA STADIUM

Committed to setting an example for its community, Lyon’s Groupama stadium has solarized part of the surface area available on its site.

Project context

In order to meet the targets set out in its “+20/-20 plan” (increasing energy production by 20% and drastically reducing consumption by 20%), the OL soccer group has gone all out by solarizing 50,000m² around its iconic stadium.

Thanks to this project, 80% of the stadium’s needs are covered by the production of photovoltaic panels, representing significant electricity savings.
