Plans for solar panels on the roof of the Principality Stadium

The Welsh Rugby Union is looking to install solar panels on the roof of the Principality Stadium to reduce its energy costs and carbon emissions. With soaring energy prices the union is exploring a wide range of measures to reduce energy consumption at the 74,500-seater arena in the centre of Cardiff, while already committed to the introduction of LED lighting.

Earlier this week the WRU also confirmed plans for a stadium roof walk attraction, which could be operational by 2024 - although it has yet to make any final decision.

Finance director of the WRU, Tim Moss, said while it still has a year to run on a fixed price energy contract, it is revisiting plans to install solar panels on the roof.
