Janta Power supplies solar to FIFA World Cup Fan Festivals in Texas
Dallas-based energy supplier Janta Power made a name for itself at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the company says, supplying on-site power to fan gatherings in Dallas and Houston with its three-dimensional solar tower systems.
The world’s largest sporting tournament wrapped up on July 19 with Spain securing its second piece of World Cup hardware with a 1-0 win over Argentina. Along the way, both finalists played at least one game at the Dallas Metroplex’s AT&T Stadium, one of the sites equipped with Janta’s solar towers.
Janta Power founder and CEO Mohammed Njie says the World Cup is “more than a sporting event,” as the international spectacle has become an energy-consuming empire. That level of electrical demand makes the tournament a proving ground for energy infrastructure, he says.
“By providing clean, quiet power in days instead of months, we’re demonstrating that renewable energy can be delivered where it’s needed most, without sacrificing speed, reliability, or performance,” Njie says. “Whether it’s powering a global event, an AI data center, an airport, or a community, our mission is the same: to make clean, affordable, and reliable energy quickly available wherever people need it.”
Janta’s moment came at official FIFA Fan Festivals, the company says, where FIFA’s governing body called on the firm to install solar towers in both Dallas and Houston. The installations demonstrated “a new model for energy installations that simplify sourcing logistics and align with compressed operational timelines.”
The Dallas-based installation, located at Fair Park, consisted of four JP5K solar towers, complete with 28 kWh battery systems. The towers served as a temporary power source throughout the duration of the festival, generating up to 275 kWh per day for event infrastructure, and were able to be taken down.
A community fixture
Janta Power’s Houston-area installation is a much more permanent fixture in southeastern Texas, the company says. Located in East Downtown Houston, the tower and its battery system will now remain as a permanent fixture, the company says, purchased to power public amenities and community events for the next 25 years.
The Janta towers are designed to generate up to 50% more power than traditional flat-panel systems, while also using only one third of the land area thanks to their vertical setup. The vertical design and integrated tracking system are able to capture sunlight throughout the day and produce a “dual-peak power curve” at times of high demand, Janta says.
“Reliable power is a constant logistical consideration across festivals and large-scale events, so solutions that simplify deployment can have a real operational impact,” says Skye Fabrizio, sustainability manager for event management firm C3 Presents. “Janta’s towers were installed quickly, required minimal space compared to standard solar installations, and provided quiet, reliable power directly on-site.
“After seeing the technology in action, I see meaningful potential for its use across a much wider range of live events and temporary installations.”
The company’s installations for the FIFA World Cup’s festivities “build on Janta’s growing commercial applications,” according to firm representatives. Pilot programs are already underway at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Germany’s Munich International Airport, the company says.
