Cardiff-based consultancy amber energy has been appointed by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) to secure energy costs at more than 200 properties including the Principality Stadium for the next four years.
The company has subsequently brought in Total Gas & Power as the WRU’s official business and commercial energy supplier following a tendering process.
In addition to powering the 74,500-seat Principality Stadium, amber energy has enabled 200 of the WRU’s clubs to buy their energy collectively.
Craig Maxwell, the WRU's head of group sales and marketing, said: "We’re delighted to welcome amber energy on-board as an official supplier to Welsh Rugby. amber energy provides us with the independent expertise to ensure we procure energy for the Principality Stadium and the WRU at the most efficient rate.
"We look forward to developing a strong partnership and working together to offer an energy product to Welsh clubs in order to support their sustainability."
Ian Keen, sports sector business development manager for amber energy, added: "This is a really exciting partnership and one that I’m delighted to be involved with. We’ve been working closely with some of the UK’s top sporting bodies, as well as many grassroots clubs, since 2012 and I’m thrilled that the Welsh Rugby Union will benefit from our expertise."
Mark Rose, director for major business at Total Gas & Power, said: "Total Gas & Power is proud to be named as the official business and commercial energy supplier to the Welsh Rugby Union and provide our services to such a prestigious venue.
"As specialists in the commercial energy sector and with more than 30 years’ experience, we are excited to give all members of the Welsh Rugby Union access to our industry-leading products and services."
