Lyon’s event venues running on 100% green electricity

Like all of the GL Events venues in France, « Lyon events » venues (Eurexpo Lyon, the Lyon Convention Center, the Gerland Matmut Stadium and La Sucrière), are actively taking part in “Renewable Electricity” programs made available by various energy suppliers.

So, how does it work?

For each kWH of electricity used on our sites, our chosen supplier commits to re-injecting an equivalent amount of sustainably sourced renewable electricity back into the French network when possible. 

An undoubtedly conclusive way of positively taking part in much needed energy transition efforts!
