Formula E, the all-electric single-seater motor racing series, has today unveiled a multi-year tie-up with global energy solutions firm Aggreko.

Through the deal, Aggreko will ensure Formula E events are “powered via renewable energy such as biofuel generators, solar arrays, and the latest battery technology.”

Aggreko will be supplying six 300kVA batteries for charging all the Formula E cars, as well as various battery sizes for powering the overall race circuits.

The energy solutions firm is also set to power the on-site Formula E hospitality and fan village options at each race location.

Renewable and sustainable energy provision is a key part of Formula E’s overall off-field mantra.

Formula E’s chief revenue officer, Tiziana di Gioia, has said: “Aggreko is a trusted supplier and expert in forward thinking and sustainable temporary energy solutions, so we’re thrilled to have it on board as an official provider of the championship."

David de Behr, Aggreko Event Services’ head of sales, added: “Aggreko is aiding Formula E’s energy transition journey, supporting its goal to reduce overall emissions by 45% and maintain its position as the world’s most sustainable sport, and in line with our passion to deliver temporary clean energy solutions to the events industry.”

In mid-March, Formula E unveiled a deal with the cloud computing arm of global technology giant Google.

The multi-year partnership entails Formula E utilizing Google Cloud technology throughout its operations to “improve performance.”

February, meanwhile, saw Formula E announce the relocation of its global logistics headquarters to Valencia, Spain, from the UK’s Donington Park circuit.

The 2024 Formula E season began on January 13 with Mexico’s Mexico City E-Prix, and will end in late July in London.
