Formula 1 agrees multi-year partnership with Aggreko for cleaner power

August 28, 2024 |

In the UK, as Formula 1 drives forward with its Net Zero by 2030 goal, it has announced a multi-year partnership with Aggreko, a world-leading provider of temporary power solutions, to deliver innovative low-carbon energy generation systems at all European Grands Prix from the 2025 season. As part of the deal, Aggreko will become an Official Provider of F1.

Aggreko and Formula 1 have been working on this system together since 2023 when they first piloted a centralised power generation compound at the Austrian Grand Prix, which reduced associated carbon emissions by >90% within the Paddock, Pit Lane, and broadcast areas compared to the 2022 event.

The compound is powered by renewable sources such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), biofuel, solar panels, and battery storage systems. After returning to the Red Bull Ring earlier this season, the system was trialled again at the Hungarian Grand Prix in 2024 and is also in place this weekend in Monza. This expanded trial has consistently delivered carbon reductions and from 2025, the system will be used across the European Grand Prix season.
