There is more to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games than athletic prowess. The Games show us what people are capable of – and as London 2012’s first Sustainability Partner, we can show what the future of energy could look like.
As the UK's largest producer of low-carbon electricity and first
Sustainability Partner for the Games, EDF Energy is helping to make
London 2012 truly sustainable. By powering the Olympic Park during
the Games, we intend to show that a low-carbon approach to energy
is possible.
Creating a truly sustainable Games
Smart metering
We are installing 3,000 smart meters to monitor energy
consumption and optimise its supply in the Olympic Park. We've
already installed thousands of them nationwide as part of our trial
of the technology. Team Green Britain Ambassador and Olympic Gold
Medal-winning cyclist Victoria Pendleton explains the difference
Smart Meters can make.
Powering Electric Vehicles
EDF Energy is helping to make London 2012 a showcase for
Electric Vehicles by installing charge points in and around the
Olympic Park.
