Zellar: Trusted by

“As a club we’ve been focused on reducing our energy cost and carbon footprint for a while, with projects like solar panels and LED floodlights.

The Zellar platform is now able to measure our impact properly and help to see where the next opportunities lie. Having access to that data will help us plan smarter, invest wisely, and keep improving year after year.”

“The Big Save is another great step in our support for the economic and climate resilience of the football pyramid. This programme will support clubs to better understand their energy use, save money and take climate action.

Research tells us that climate change is having a significant impact on grassroots sport. By providing access to funds and support to build resilience and adapt to those impacts, clubs across the pyramid can keep their games in play.

Supporting the football pyramid is important for the Premier League and we want to help clubs become more resilient to the impacts of economic conditions and climate change.”

By sharing simple energy data through Zellar, clubs can track their usage, discover ways to save money, and help identify shape future funding strategy.

  • The Premier League Stadium Fund is committed to helping clubs reduce their running costs and environmental impact. The Big Save supports that goal by using the Zellar platform to measure the benefits of LED floodlight upgrades — such as lower energy use, reduced carbon emissions, and financial savings.

    By taking part, clubs provide valuable data that helps the Premier League understand the real-world impact of its investment in energy efficiency.

  • Zellar is a digital sustainability coaching platform that is supporting the Premier League Stadium Fund in streamlining the process of measuring carbon emissions. Zellar provides a user-friendly platform for football clubs to calculate, track, and reduce their emissions.

  • The Premier League has made it free for 50 football clubs to join Zellar for the first year. After that clubs will need to purchase a new licence to continue to track their savings and emissions on Zellar.

  • Using Zellar offers several benefits for suppliers, including:

    • Cut energy costs – track and reduce energy use from lighting, heating, and facilities.

    • Measure your impact – calculate your club’s carbon footprint automatically from real data.

    • Unlock funding opportunities – demonstrate progress to access future grants and support.

    • Show leadership – share verified results with your league, community, and supporters.

    • Save time and effort – manage everything in one easy-to-use platform without needing consultants.

    Clubs will then complete an online onboarding exercise that helps them to automatically calculate their emissions across buildings and travel emissions. As well as the impact of their floodlights - and any associated cost savings.

    Once that’s completed clubs have access to the Zellar platform's tools and resources to continue to calculate, track, and reduce their carbon emissions over the next 12 months.

  • Anyone that registers and doesn’t make the first phase will be contacted once the next phase opens.
