Pacha Ibiza has announced that it is now powered by 100% renewable, zero-emission energy, in what it says ‘sets a new benchmark for sustainable nightlife’.
By relying on clean energy, the nightclub said that it is generating carbon savings equivalent to preserving 1.2 million square meters of the Amazon rainforest, while it has also eliminated the use of single-use plastics across the venue.

“We’re thrilled to lead the nightlife industry in environmental responsibility,”commented Aloki Batra, CEO, The Pacha Group. “Our 100% green energy and LEED Gold or Higher certification goals reflect our vision of creating sensational nights with a positive impact on the planet.”
Elsewhere, Pacha Ibiza has also reduced energy, water and carbon emissions as part of its ongoing sustainability efforts.
LEED certification
The Ibiza nightclub said that it is working toward achieving LEED Gold or Higher certification, with an applied scorecard of 84 points to the US Green Building Council.
Buildings with LEED certification typically use 25% less energy, 11% less water, and produce 34% fewer carbon emissions compared to standard buildings. Pacha Ibiza has submitted an applied scorecard targeting 84 points toward this certification.
