AGL has announced it will become Port Adelaide Football Club’s official energy partner until the end of the 2022 AFL season.

To help power the club through the coming seasons, AGL will be playing a pivotal role in reducing the club’s carbon emissions through AGL’s certified carbon neutral electricity product.

AGL general manager for commercial and industrial customers, Ryan Warburton, said AGL is excited to partner with the club as it has a long, proud history in South Australia.

“AGL is a proud member of the Port Adelaide community, operating South Australia’s largest power station at Torrens Island and powering more than 380,000 South Australian homes and businesses,” Mr Warburton said.
