The UK’s seven Test match grounds: Lord’s, Riverside, Edgbaston, Trent Bridge, Headingley Carnegie, Old Trafford and the Brit Oval.
Some of these also serve as European football or soccer venues and it was not clear if the power usage was solely for cricket, but not likely.
Efforts are under way in 2007 to try and reduce CO2 production by 10% with energy usage reduction initiatives led by the English Cricket Board.
