The Solar and Storage deployment will support multiple operations spanning both the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre and the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, with future plans to also power the entire Ovation mall and attached Loews Hollywood Hotel.<\/p>\n
The initiative includes the installation of advanced solar photovoltaic systems and battery energy storage designed to supply locally generated renewable power and enhance energy resilience during major live broadcasts.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a global cultural institution, the owners of The Dolby Theatre and the TCL Chinese Theatre, the importance of responsible leadership,\u201d said a representative of the owners. \u201cTransitioning our flagship events, which also include The Espy Awards, PaleyFest, iHeart Radio Awards and more, toward on-site renewable energy reflects our long-term commitment to sustainability and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Visionary Hollywood producer and real estate developer Elie Samaha and his investors made the announcement to reflect a lifelong commitment to renewables. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working on this for years now and it\u2019s finally coming together; we will implement these technologies across multiple locations in Hollywood and also in our Theater Box complex in San Diego. It\u2019s time for the entertainment and hospitality industries to adopt renewable energy in all of its flagship events.\u201d<\/p>\n
