The North London club, who extended their unbeaten run to 17 on the weekend, have unveiled a new battery facility which has enough energy to power the whole 60,000 capacity venue.
According to Bloomberg, the battery is a 2-megawatt lithium-ion battery and would be powered by the company Pivot Power LLP.
It would also allow the club to purchase electricity when it is cheaper and use it at times of high-need.
The Gunners will also save cash as the battery will help to balance supply and demand through a contract with the company National Grid.
This will mean it can be started up within a seconds notice to provide power.
And the club have revealed they plan to add another megawatt of storage next summer.
An analyst at Bloomberg, James Frith said: "The project highlights the important role storage can play in helping companies to meet their sustainability targets."
While Pivot Power Chief Executive Officer, Matt Allen, said: "Arsenal is showing how football clubs and other big power users can save money and support the UK’s climate change and clean air targets.
"Batteries are central to creating a cost-effective, low-carbon economy and we are keen to help government, local authorities and businesses seize the opportunities they offer.”
This is not the first time Arsenal have led the line for high-profile clubs using sustainable and eco-friendly energy.
They were the first club to switch to 100% green power and currently have floodlights which use 30% less electricity.
