The Houston Dynamo Football Club and Shell Energy have signed a letter of intent to make Shell Energy the exclusive energy provider of Houston Dynamo FC, the Houston Dash and PNC Stadium.
As part of this relationship, and to support the Club in achieving its goal of reducing its carbon footprint by an estimated 50% by 2026, Shell Energy will be implementing integrated energy solutions such as LED lighting installation, HVAC system replacements and EV charging stations at PNC Stadium. This highlights the shared commitment between the Dynamo, the Dash and Shell Energy in building a better energy future while improving sustainability today. These efforts will extend to the community as well, through programs such as “Trees for Threes”, in which the Club and Shell Energy will plant a tree for every game that the Dynamo or Dash win which gives the team three points in the league standings.
As part of the multi-year agreement, PNC Stadium’s new Sports Deck will become the Shell Energy Sports Deck and the Northwest gate at PNC Stadium will now be the Shell Energy Gate.
“Shell Energy is at the forefront of providing cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions, and we are thrilled to welcome them into the Houston Dynamo Football Club family,” Houston Dynamo FC President John Walker said. “We take pride in being leaders on and off the pitch, and with the help of Shell Energy we aim to be a leader in sustainability by reducing our carbon footprint by half over the next five years."
Shell Energy will also become the presenting sponsor of both the Houston Dynamo and Houston Dash seasons. Starting with the 2022 regular season, they will be “Powered by Shell Energy.” Shell Energy will also receive sponsorship placement on the bottom back of the Houston Dash jerseys.
“The world is in the midst of an energy transition,” said Glenn Wright, Vice President of Renewables and Energy Solutions for Shell Energy. “We’re excited about the opportunity to come together with Houston Dynamo FC to help them achieve their decarbonization goals while at the same time showcasing to fans what is possible when we work together.”
The first match under this new relationship will take place on February 27, 2022 at 6 p.m. CT against Real Salt Lake. The Houston Dash opens the Challenge Cup at home at 6 p.m. CT on Sunday March 20.
