Crystal Palace Football Club are delighted to have announced that Aurora Utilities is the Club’s Official Grid Connection Partner in a new multi-year agreement.
Robin Campbell, Head of Sponsorship at Crystal Palace Football Club, said, “We’re delighted to welcome Aurora Utilities to Crystal Palace. They are an ambitious business operating in an increasingly important part of the UK’s infrastructure.” He continued:
“This partnership is about much more than brand visibility. Selhurst Park provides a fantastic setting for Aurora to bring together clients, partners and stakeholders, both on matchdays and through events across the year. We’re looking forward to working closely with Aurora and building a successful partnership over the coming seasons.”
Aurora Utilities Limited (“Aurora”) is an Ofgem-regulated Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO), helping to connect new developments to the electricity grid, then owning and operating the “last-mile” electricity distribution networks that serve them across Great Britain.
Aurora works across multiple sectors including; electric vehicle charging, battery storage and renewables, data centres, industrial & commercial developments and residential projects, enabling economic growth, electrification, and the UK’s transition to net zero.
As part of the partnership, Aurora will receive prominent visibility at Selhurst Park, including branding across the Club’s LED screens and other stadium assets.
The partnership will give Aurora a year-round platform for hospitality, networking and relationship-building through the Club’s premium matchday offering and Selhurst Park’s wider events facilities, during an exciting period of investment and redevelopment at the stadium.
Simon Reilly, CEO of Aurora Utilities, said:
“We’re proud to become Crystal Palace’s Official Grid Connection Partner. For many infrastructure projects, the grid connection is the critical path; without confidence over available capacity and the route to a grid connection, projects cannot move forward as planned. The role of an Independent Distribution Network Operator is not only to help deliver the connection, but to own and operate the local network safely and reliably for the long term.”
