Wednesday, December 4th 2024– Pinergy, the Official Energy Partner of Munster Rugby, is thrilled to announce their new partnership with Munster Rugby’s dynamic pair as part of their long-standing partnership with the province: Jack Crowley and Kate Flannery, both commanding number 10s for Munster’s men’s and women’s teams respectively. This exciting announcement comes as Pinergy extends its commitment to Munster Rugby with a new four-year sponsorship agreement, building on a successful ten-year association and solidifying its position as a key partner with Munster Rugby since 2017.
Through the partnership with Munster Rugby, Jack and Kate’s role as Pinergy brand ambassadors will be helping to support Pinergy’s Own the Moment platform by encouraging fans and the wider community to proactively take control of their energy habits, informing the audiences that today’s decisions transform tomorrow. The partnership will extend to social channels and bespoke content developed for the partnership.
As part of this renewed partnership, the Pinergy logo proudly features on the iconic Munster jersey, as both Men and Women’s teams compete this season. The collaboration embodies the shared values of excellence, sustainability, and community engagement that both Pinergy and Munster Rugby represent and will continue to represent into the future.
"I'm delighted to join Pinergy as an ambassador," shared Jack Crowley. "Their commitment to Munster Rugby and their focus on helping develop the province is something I’m delighted to be a part of. It's all about 'Owning the Moment' on the pitch, and Pinergy's support helps us do just that."
"It's an honour to represent Pinergy and Munster Rugby," added Kate Flannery. "In Munster Rugby, we are extremely proud of our club and fans and I'm excited to be a part of a partnership that represents both so passionately. Pinergy's dedication to ensuring Munster Rugby remains a sustainable club for the future aligns perfectly with the values of my team, our club but also the wider community."
Pinergy's commitment to Munster Rugby extends beyond the pitch. As part of its ten-year solar sponsorship, Pinergy provides comprehensive energy solutions to power both Thomond Park and Virgin Media Park with green, sustainable energy. This includes supplying both stadia with 100% green electricity, installing EV charging infrastructure, and implementing solar panels at Virgin Media Park. Furthermore, Pinergy has equipped Thomond Park with Acutrace smart meters to optimise energy consumption and drive efficiency.
This dedication to sustainability aligns perfectly with Munster Rugby's ambition to become a leading sustainable brand in world rugby. Pinergy also proudly supports grassroots rugby development through its sponsorship of the Pinergy Boys & Girls Schools Cup, fostering the next generation of rugby talent.
Enda Gunnell, CEO of Pinergy, commented: “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Munster Rugby and welcome Jack and Kate as our new ambassadors. Their dedication, skill, and leadership on the field embody the spirit of Pinergy. We are proud to support Munster Rugby’s journey towards a sustainable future and believe this partnership will further energize the sport and the community.”
