Principality Stadium install over 3000 solar panels on roof
Solar panels generating enough electricity to power more than 50 matchdays have been turned on at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The switch-on marks a key step in the Welsh Rugby Union’s decarbonisation plans as it prepares to unveil its first sustainability strategy later this year.
Over 3,250 solar panels, have been fitted to the Stadium’s iconic roof by EvoEnergy, the UK’s leading renewable company, making it the largest such installation at any sports stadium in the UK.
The panels will significantly decarbonise Principality Stadium’s operations through the production of clean energy, generating an expected 1.25 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each a year ─ enough to host a packed matchday at the home of Welsh rugby every day for seven weeks.
The panels are expected to reduce Principality Stadium’s carbon output by 219,791kg every single year, providing a substantial source of low-cost energy for the Welsh Rugby Union.
The solar installation is part of a wider package of sustainability measures aimed at decarbonising Principality Stadium’s operations. The WRU is now developing a full-fledged sustainability strategy, which will draw on all of its current and future efforts to drive decarbonisation and broader societal change across the whole of Welsh rugby.
Gavin Marshall, WRU Chief Financial and Operating Officer said, “This marks a hugely exciting milestone, not just for Principality Stadium, but for the future of Welsh rugby. As one of the most iconic sporting venues in the world, it’s right that we harness its scale and influence to drive positive change, benefiting our game, our fans and the wider community.
“While matchdays here will always be ignited by a sea of red jerseys, we’re proud that they will now be powered by clean green energy. Investing in innovative, sustainable energy solutions like solar is vital if we are to future-proof the stadium and play our part in creating a greener future.
“We’re not only reducing our carbon footprint but also strengthening the financial sustainability of the Union through the money we will save, creating long-term value that can be reinvested into Welsh rugby at every level.
“Through the publication of our sustainability strategy later this year, we’ll set out how initiatives like today’s contribute to a bold, practical plan to make Welsh rugby greener and more resilient for generations to come.”
The solar installation sit alongside other measures, such as the introduction of a well water abstraction system (which ensures clean drinking water is not wasted on cleaning or watering needs), rain-water harvesting, installation of LED lighting throughout the stadium. There is also a commitment to sustainable food procurement and to working with local charities to ensure surplus food gets distributed within vulnerable communities
The full sustainability strategy is set to be published later this year and will ensure sustainable practices sits at the heart of the WRU’s five-year One Wales corporate strategy.
Darren Crossman, WRU Head of Facilities and Safety and Sustainability, adds, “As custodians of this iconic stadium, we have a responsibility to lead by example, and this solar installation is a significant technical and operational step forward.
“This project is about more than generating renewable energy, it’s about embedding sustainability into the way the stadium operates day-to-day, reducing our environmental impact and creating a more efficient, resilient venue for the future.
We’re proud to bring this expertise to life at Principality Stadium and marking this first step in shaping a future sustainability strategy for Welsh rugby.
Diala Isid, Senior Renewable Energy Consultant at EvoEnergy, said, “We’re proud to have partnered with the Welsh Rugby Union to deliver a landmark solar PV system, reflecting a shared commitment to clean energy and a more sustainable future.”

Diversified to Showcase the Future of Connected Experience Environments at InfoComm 2026
Diversified, a global leader in audiovisual, broadcast and digital experience integration, will showcase its vision for the next generation of connected experience environments at InfoComm 2026, demonstrating how physical spaces are evolving into immersive, intelligent and revenue-ready platforms that bring people together and keep them coming back for more.
As organizations look for new ways to activate sponsors, monetize premium spaces, support year-round programming and keep audiences engaged beyond the main event, the market is moving past traditional AV upgrades and isolated technology decisions. Stadiums, arenas, mixed-use districts, corporate campuses, hospitality destinations, museums, broadcast environments and brand experience centers are being reimagined as more dynamic environments where content, infrastructure, production and operations work together.
At InfoComm, Diversified will demonstrate how this convergence comes to life in high-value environments where experience, performance and revenue are directly correlated. Inspired by the energy of the World Cup, The Pitch brings AV, broadcast, digital experience, collaboration and production into one connected environment, showing how the front-of-house experience and back-of-house production engine work together to serve fans, operators, sponsors and content teams at the same time.
“The fan sees the energy of the moment,” said Stephen Glancey, Digital practice leader at Diversified. “The real opportunity is designing that moment so it can serve more than one purpose. When immersion, collaboration, content and production work together, the same environment can support the audience, the operator, the sponsor and the business.”
Throughout the activation, attendees will experience how technology shapes the full live-event journey, from fan engagement to production to collaboration. Stadium-inspired visual entry moments set the tone before attendees move into a premium viewing environment where live match content, immersive stadium visualization, tuned audio and lighting create a more dimensional experience. Interactive and shareable moments invite attendees to become part of the story, while the Draft Room shows how collaboration environments can bring together data, multi-view content and storytelling to support strategy, sponsorship, executive briefings and real-time decisions. The broadcast studio and control room add the operational layer, demonstrating how capture, production, routing, graphics, monitoring and audio workflows power the experience behind the scenes.
Blue Square X, Diversified’s lead immersive display partner for the activation, will help bring several of The Pitch’s most visual and experiential moments to life. Known for engineered display environments that merge premium LED technology, content and architectural design, Blue Square X will support the stadium-style visual entry moments, dynamic content and immersive viewing environment that anchor the attendee journey.
The experience will also feature integrated solutions from Analog Way, Chauvet, Crestron, Grass Valley, L-Acoustics, Legrand, NETGEAR, Nikon/RED, Shure, Sony and Yamaha, demonstrating how display, lighting, control, audio, networking, infrastructure, capture, production and content orchestration work together in a live connected environment.
For Diversified, The Pitch represents more than a booth activation. It is a proof point for a broader market shift: physical spaces are becoming more interactive, flexible and valuable when technology is designed around the full experience.
That shift applies well beyond sports. The same connected experience model can support premium hospitality, corporate briefing centers, brand flagships, museums, cultural destinations, broadcast studios, entertainment venues and mixed-use environments. Across these environments, Diversified helps clients bring together immersive visuals, spatial audio, content systems, control, production workflows and lifecycle support to create spaces that can adapt to different audiences, moments and business needs.
“When technology is designed around the experience, every moment becomes more valuable for the fan, the operator, the sponsor, the partner and the brand,” added Glancey. “That is what we are bringing to InfoComm: a clearer view of how connected environments can help clients create better experiences, run smarter operations and unlock new value from the spaces they already have.”
Diversified will showcase The Pitch during InfoComm 2026 at North Hall #N8063.

The new safe standing areas will be located in:
- Block 2 - back row (32 seats)

Manchester City reveal new museum experience
Manchester City has revealed key information about its brand-new museum experience designed to immerse visitors in the history and culture of the Club.
Set to open later this year in the heart of the £300m Medlock Square entertainment district at Manchester’s Etihad Campus, the Manchester City Museum Experience will be spread across ten distinctive spaces covering over 1,700 square metres.
Visitors will be able to visit nostalgic environments from throughout the Club’s history, including Moss Side, the home of Manchester City’s Maine Road Stadium from 1923 to 2003. They can also take part in interactive media experiences including football punditry or pose with all 48 major trophies won by the Club’s first teams.
In doing so, the experience will combine the latest immersive technology with physical memorabilia drawn from across the Club’s history. A dedicated temporary pop-up space will allow new and evolving stories to be shared over time, while fan memories are woven throughout. Hidden details and surprising ‘did you know’ facts are embedded across the experience to ensure even the most devoted fans discover something new about the Club they love.
Thanks to the Club’s long-standing partnership with PUMA, the experience will also feature the ‘City x PUMA Arena’, an interactive area where visitors can take part in a variety of active football challenges to test their football ability. This includes a shooting game inspired by Sergio Aguero’s iconic last-minute goal against Queens Park Rangers in 2012, one of the most famous moments in Premier League history.
Alongside the City x PUMA Arena, there is also a dedicated area telling the story of PUMA’s long relationship and history with football.
By combining interactive environments, technology and authentic artefacts, the experience aims to appeal to a wide audience, from lifelong Manchester City supporters to families and those with a broader interest in football, culture and the city of Manchester.
Commenting on the plans, Danny Wilson, Managing Director – Manchester City Operations, said: “Building a completely new museum has allowed us to create an immersive experience that celebrates the people and moments which have shaped Manchester City.
“But our story isn’t traditional and straightforward, so why should our museum experience be? We want something different. Something immersive which will resonate with our fans, as well as excite the wider city. In doing so, we have developed something that appeals to fans, complements the Etihad Campus and provides a year round attraction for the city.”
The museum has been designed by Ralph Appelbaum Associates (RAA), the world’s largest award winning practice dedicated to the planning and design of museums and narrative environments. With studios in New York, London, Berlin and Beijing, RAA’s previous projects include the London Transport Museum, the Obama Presidential Centre in Chicago and the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
The Manchester City Museum Experience will complement the Club’s existing Stadium Tour, which is currently ranked among the top five visitor attractions in the UK according to TripAdvisor reviews.
Further information about the museum experience, including booking details, will be shared ahead of its opening later in 2026 during the phased completion of Medlock Square.
Once complete, the venue will operate 365 days a year and include a new 401-bed hotel, office space, a range of food and drink options, a covered fan zone, and a roof walk experience.
There will also be a best-in-class flagship CityStore, delivered in conjunction with PUMA and club retail Partner stichd – providing an immersive new retail experience for fans, spread over three floors. In addition to an increased merchandise offering and exclusive stadium store product, fans will also be able to enjoy a brand-new, enhanced personalisation experience.
