This year, the Global Citizen Festival is taking a monumental step in sustainability. For the first time, the Central Park stage will be entirely powered by the Showpower SmartGrid battery system, the same innovative technology designed and developed for Coldplay’s ‘Music of the Spheres’ world tour. In partnership with Showpower Global B.V., CES Power, and Equitable Earth, this switch from diesel generators to clean battery power will dramatically reduce the festival’s carbon footprint, making it one of the first major U.S. festivals to embrace this eco-friendly approach.
