HOUSTON, Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aggreko, a global leader in energy solutions, announces the company's return as the Official Temporary Power Partner of the FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN SILVER LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2024 as part of the multi-year agreement. Following its successful support of the inaugural race in 2023, Aggreko will again power the nighttime race on November 21-23, set in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip.
Aggreko’s return to the Las Vegas Grand Prix comes just as the company announces a multi-year partnership with Formula 1® that will see Aggreko named as an Official Provider of F1®. As part of the agreement, Aggreko will provide low-carbon energy solutions for various Formula 1 races from the 2025 season.
As with last year’s event, the complexity of the nighttime street race will create a challenge in ensuring the event is continuously powered. To meet this challenge, Aggreko will provide energy at various locations. Additionally, Aggreko will provide HVAC solutions in temporary hospitality structures, team hospitality spaces, and offices - all while providing power for the critical track lighting throughout Las Vegas Strip Circuit™. Aggreko will also power the domestic and international broadcasts ensuring fans at home never miss a second of the action.
“We’re honored to be returning to Las Vegas following last year’s successful, first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix,” said Stephen Saal, Aggreko's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, North America. “Our expertise in providing energy solutions with the latest technologies helped power last year’s race, and we’re proud to continue working with Formula 1 as we get ready to keep the lights running at this year’s event.”
Last year, Aggreko successfully provided 15 MW of power and 6M BTUs of heat, having a critical role in the successful staging of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Aggreko installed their latest Tier 4 Final generators at multiple locations around the track, as well as battery energy storage systems that kept the track lit and spectators entertained. The company also provided temperature control for several locations where attendees enjoyed the race. In using their latest innovative technologies, Aggreko was able to keep emissions at a minimum, with the Tier 4F generators helping Formula 1 meet its environmental targets by reducing locally regulated emissions such as particulate matter by 98% and NOx by 96%.
