The Corel Centre — Ottawa

The Corel Centre is an 18,500-seat sports and entertainment venue that is home to the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, and host to numerous concerts, ice shows and other large-scale events.

The Challenge

Arena managers were looking for an energy partner that could meet the expansive needs of their facility. Their complex requirements ranged from powering high-tech lighting and video displays to comfortably controlling a rink climate, as well as support for six restaurants, a conference facility and 143 luxury suites on three levels.

Our Solution

Direct Energy Business Services brought a track record of innovative, energy-saving solutions to the Corel Centre. We partnered with them to become the centre’s official energy and services provider.

As such, we provide both Natural Gas and Electricity Price Protection Plans. This can help to save on energy costs and budget well into the future—freeing time to concentrate on one of Canada’s greatest hockey teams.

The Results

The Corel Centre now has the tools to effectively budget long-term energy costs thanks to multi-year natural gas and electricity agreements with Direct Energy Business Services.

Direct Energy is also a major sponsor of the Corel Centre, and offers support through co-marketing and advertising initiatives over three years.
