The energy landscape in Europe is shifting fast – and large venues are under pressure on multiple fronts.
Energy costs remain volatile, and peak charges during events or seasonal demand are eroding margins. Across many regions, public and private utilities are rethinking how energy is distributed and priced. For venues with high loads and unpredictable use patterns, this creates financial risk and operational complexity. At the same time, expectations around sustainability have changed. Sponsors, leagues, public authorities, and even fans now expect venues to show measurable progress.
Meanwhile, the digital demands on modern venues are growing. From streaming and security to ticketing, WiFi, and smart facility management, the energy load is no longer just about lighting and HVAC. It’s about powering a full, integrated experience – and ensuring resilience when it matters most.
