Jan 27, 2010

JUNO BEACH, Fla. – NextEra Energy Resources, the largest wind and solar energy producer in North America, has teamed up with the NFL to power the 2010 Pro Bowl and Super Bowl with renewable energy. NextEra Energy Resources, through its EarthEra initiative, will supply Green-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to match the electricity consumption during the NFL’s preparations leading up to the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl as well as usage during both games at Sun Life Stadium.

This is the fourth year in a row that the NFL will use renewable energy to power the Super Bowl and its related events and the first year for the Pro Bowl.

“As you can imagine, the power demands of an NFL stadium are huge, and this year we are holding two games at one venue," said Jack Groh, director, NFL Environmental Program. "One way to reduce the carbon footprint of such an event is by using renewable power."
