Constellation Selected as Preferred Energy Source of New Nissan Stadium and the Tennessee Titans

Largest producer of reliable, clean energy in the U.S. will provide heating and cooling to new Tennessee Titans stadium, in state-of-the-art facility beginning in 2027

Constellation, the largest producer of clean energy in the U.S. and a leading supplier of energy products and services, announced today a long-term agreement to serve as the Preferred Energy Source of the new Nissan Stadium and the Tennessee Titans. Constellation will operate a state-of-the-art, on-site energy plant at the team’s Nissan Stadium that is designed to deliver unmatched reliability, fan comfort, and energy efficiency — ensuring the stadium performs at the highest level while supporting Nashville’s economic growth.

Under a 20-year energy services agreement, Constellation will maintain the energy system responsible for supplying heating and cooling to the 2.1 million square foot, 60,000-capacity stadium once it opens in 2027.

“We work closely with our customers to provide customized solutions that meet their energy and sustainability objectives, and the launch of this exciting collaboration with the Titans is a prime example of that commitment in action,” said Jim McHugh, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Constellation. “As the Titans strive to offer an optimal experience for millions of fans and guests annually, we’re eager to do our part to provide a comfortable indoor environment in an efficient and resilient way.”

Through the new Nissan Stadium project and across all team operations, the Titans are committed to creating a sustainable future, reducing environmental impact, and amplifying impactful solutions. Constellation’s high-efficiency energy system is designed to improve overall energy efficiency by up to 20 percent.

“What stood out to us about Constellation is their unwavering commitment to ensuring every guest enjoys a comfortable, memorable experience,” said Kellen DeCoursey, Titans Project Executive. “We are excited to have a partner like Constellation to ensure the stadium performs reliably and efficiently.”

Constellation is working with the stadium’s engineering team to incorporate leading energy efficiency measures and other best practices into the plant’s design. Once the facility is constructed, Constellation will provide more than 8,600 tons of chilled water capacity for cooling and carry more than 60.7 million BTU per hour of demand for heating, enough to supply clean air throughout the stadium. A portion of the water utilized by the plant will be reclaimed rainwater from the stadium’s innovative cistern system..

The on-site plant will feature multiple chillers and boilers, backup cooling, and extra pumps and cooling tower capacity to set up intentionally redundant functions on days of extreme heat, full-capacity events, and back-to-back events. The system provides even temperatures across seating bowls, clubs, suites, and concourses in all seasons, even when doors are opening and closing thousands of times per event.

Constellation already has a strong familiarity with both the Nashville community and the Tennessee Titans. Since 2003, Constellation has operated Metro Nashville’s high performing District Energy System, which provides heating and cooling services to more than 40 buildings in Nashville’s downtown corridor, including cooling for the current Nissan Stadium. Under Constellation’s management, the system has operated at more than 99 percent reliability since it first came online. Constellation’s 19 Nashville-based employees have served an average tenure of 15 years, bringing deep local expertise, community commitment, and reliability to the new Nissan Stadium development.
