SAN ANTONIO – OCI Energy, a leading developer, owner, and operator of utility-scale solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, today announced a new partnership with The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Athletics as the program's Official Energy Sponsor. The sponsorship launches this weekend as UTSA kicks off its 15th season of football against Texas A&M on Saturday, August 30, at 6:00 p.m. in a nationally televised matchup on ESPN.
OCI Energy’s sponsorship will include a prominent presence at UTSA football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and softball games with the company’s logo featured across digital and in-venue platforms, including social media score updates, courtside LED signage, and game sponsorships.
“UTSA played a major role in shaping who we are today as a major energy developer in Texas,” said Bayatli. “Partnering with UTSA Athletics allows us to give back to our community while also allowing us to invest in the next generation of innovators.”
“UTSA Athletics is thrilled to welcome OCI Energy as our Official Energy Partner,” said Lisa Campos, UTSA Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics. “Their commitment to innovation, education, and community perfectly aligns with our values, and we look forward to the positive impact this partnership will bring to our student-athletes and fans.”
Through this sponsorship, OCI Energy will engage with students via athletic events and career fairs, offering insight into careers in energy and opportunities for internships and employment.
UTSA Athletics has experienced significant growth in recent years, with the Roadrunners boasting a 29-3 home record in the Jeff Traylor era and coming off a seven-win campaign that included the program's first-ever win over a top-25 opponent. During their 2025 NCAA Tournament run, UTSA Baseball delivered significant impact on the UTSA Athletics brand with 581 traditional media mentions across print, radio and television, reaching a total audience of 676.7 million.
