The Challenge
A cleaner, greener solution helping to reduce their carbon footprint
The prime-time TV broadcast of Sunday football is the week’s most important American football game during football season. Other broadcasts during the week have several games being played simultaneously – so if the power fails at one game, they can switch to another – but not on Sunday night. It’s a one-game thing, and the broadcaster needs to rely on Aggreko to keep the power on, so they can keep the prime-time TV broadcast on the air. In the past, they would burn 1200 gallons of fossil fuel to power these games, but now we’ve got a cleaner, greener solution that is helping to reduce their carbon footprint.
