About Kettering Town FC

Kettering Town Football Club, affectionately known as “The Poppies,” was established in 1872, making it one of the oldest football clubs in England. With a proud heritage rooted in Northamptonshire, the club has long been a cornerstone of local football culture. Originally based at Rockingham Road in Kettering, the club relocated to Burton Latimer Park, its current home, where it continues to nurture local talent and attract a loyal fanbase. Over the years, Kettering Town FC has built a legacy of resilience and passion for the sport, proudly representing the community in local and national competitions.

 

In 2024, the club entered an exciting new chapter under the guidance of ambitious new owners who have brought renewed energy and financial support. These owners have invested heavily in player development, infrastructure, and training facilities, ensuring the club is well-positioned for success. Their efforts have already begun to bear fruit, with the team climbing the tables in the 2024 FA Cup and delivering thrilling performances that have captured the hearts of fans.

 

Beyond the pitch, the club is taking bold steps towards sustainability, including installing solar panels at Burton Latimer Park. This initiative aims to reduce the club’s carbon footprint and set an example of environmental responsibility for other teams and the local community.

 

Looking to the future, Kettering Town FC is committed to becoming more than just a football club; it aims to be a vital hub for the community. Plans include expanded youth programmes and upgraded facilities at Burton Latimer Park to support sports and recreation for all. The club’s dedication to sustainability aligns with its broader vision of creating a positive impact off the pitch. By embracing green energy and fostering community engagement, Kettering Town FC is building a legacy that combines sporting excellence with environmental and social responsibility, ensuring a bright future for the club and its supporters.

Kettering Town FC, football club based in Burton Latimer in the town of Kettering. Located opposite the local Weetabix factory, it is a key community asset.

DATE

Completed in December 2024

SYSTEM INSTALLED

15 panels, 6.6kW solar PV system
Through our partnership with Kettering Town Football Club (KTFC), we installed a state-of-the-art 15kW solar panel system on their clubhouse in December 2024. This system consists of 15 high-performance solar panels and will generate around 15kWh of clean energy daily, significantly reducing the club’s reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Not only does this contribute to a greener future, but it also helps KTFC save approximately £1,500 annually on their energy bills. These savings will allow the club to reinvest in their facilities, team development, and community outreach, helping them grow both on and off the pitch.

 

As a local solar energy provider, we’re incredibly proud to support a club that means so much to our community. Providing the solar panels at no cost was a natural decision for us—we see this not just as a sponsorship, but as an opportunity to align our values with those of KTFC. By helping the club reduce their carbon footprint and create a more sustainable operation, we’re contributing to something much bigger: the well-being of the community and the promotion of renewable energy as a viable solution for organisations of all sizes.

 

This partnership embodies our commitment to combining sustainability with community support. Seeing KTFC take this step towards becoming more environmentally friendly is inspiring, and we’re excited to see the positive impact these savings will bring. Whether it’s improving the clubhouse, enhancing fan experiences, or giving back to local initiatives, we know this collaboration will help KTFC continue to excel while demonstrating the power of renewable energy. It’s been a privilege to work with such a forward-thinking club, and we can’t wait to see them thrive in the years ahead.

I can't recommend the Genr8 Energy Ltd team enough. Communication was clear and concise from first contact through to commissioning of the system. All work was completed punctually and to a very high standard with work areas kept tidy throughout the job. I would highly recommend Genr8 Energy Ltd.

The guys at GENR8 did a superb job start to finish. Kept me informed all the way through what was happening next. Work areas were always tidy and left clean at the end of the working day. I simply cannot fault their work ethic. If only all tradesmen were this thorough and thoughtful. They also changed some cracked tiles for me which saved me a job and did not charge for the extra work.Thanks Guys 🙂
