The Challenge
Low emission festival power
EVENTelect provides electrical infrastructure to over 100 major Australian events every year.
The three-day Falls Festival over New Year 2022 featured acts such as Arctic Monkeys, Lil Nas X, and kids’ favourite The Wiggles.
Situated in the North Byron Parklands it needed a unique solution as it has no access to mains power and is spread over a wide area.
The event organisers also wanted to demonstrate their environmental credentials so EVENTelect asked Aggreko to provide all the festival power needed whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the amount of diesel fuel used, and generator noise created.
