The Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) wants more than moral support from fans — it wants their energy. To be clear, they want their solar energy via a new, Australian-first energy-sharing initiative.
Customers of EnergyAustralia, Melbourne Cricket Ground’s (MCG) electricity partner, are being asked to share their excess solar electricity. It will be used to power light towers, scoreboard screens and more within the stadium’s walls.
Given the immense need (MCG’s annual energy output is the equivalent to powering 4,000 homes per year in Australia), MCC is offering various “VIP” experiences to participants.
Opportunities include kick-to-kick sessions on the turf, stadium tours and chance to take in a match from the premium Jolimont Club.
