Event Power Solutions

Without reliable event power and temperature control, the show can’t go on
From Glastonbury and Cirque du Soleil to the World Cup and the Olympics, we are proud to power many of the world’s most exciting events. With more than 30 years’ experience, we understand what it takes behind the scenes. We apply the same energy and detail to your backstage power distribution and event HVAC as you put into your programme front of house, from modelling loads and airflow to commissioning equipment and validating redundancy.
We work quietly behind the scenes to provide the heating, cooling and power your event depends on. Our generators keep lighting, audio and broadcast systems running, while our chillers, air handlers and industrial AC stabilise temperatures for crowd areas, talent spaces and technical compounds. The result is a steady, efficient system that supports rehearsals, live moments and changeovers without disruption.
From event air conditioning and silent generator hire through to targeted heating and sustainable event power, we design a package that fits your venue and schedule. Whether you are hosting a private function or broadcasting to millions, we handle the engineering and monitoring so your team can focus on the performance.
We’ll support you with power solutions to make your event a success.
Large events allow no second chances. You need a partner who stays with you from the first site walk to bump-out, ready to adapt as plans evolve.
As well as front of house and field of play, your temporary systems must serve many critical zones: security and medical facilities, broadcast compounds, ticketing and retail, hospitality and back-of-house. Designing temporary event power and temperature control for these areas can be complex, with equipment often sited in tight compounds or remote positions to manage noise, airflow and access.
Our event power engineering team is experienced in solving these challenges. If space is limited, we specify compact sets and come up with highly customised solutions. If equipment must sit away from the action, we extend cabling and HVAC ducting to deliver power, heating and cooling exactly where needed. If the scope changes, modular designs scale without re-starting the plan. Everything is documented, labelled and tested so critical moments proceed as planned.

People
Our people are the difference. We are experts in what we do. For decades we have set the stage for weddings, tours, festivals, televised sport and corporate showcases. Our event power and HVAC specialists design resilient configurations, commission every asset against the plan, then remain on site to monitor performance and make timely adjustments as weather and schedules change.
We are taking you Behind The Stage to meet the people who make it happen, from apprentices to Senior Engineers. See the planning, safety checks and rapid problem solving the world rarely sees.
Sustainability
Global warming will continue to challenge live events. As a leading provider of sustainable event power, we encourage partners to set the stage responsibly.
Our roadmap includes practical steps you can deploy today: right-sizing generators, integrating battery energy storage and considering lower-emission options where appropriate. We also track performance through remote monitoring, so fuel use and noise stay low without sacrificing reliability.
We have our own sustainability targets and will continue reporting on our progress as we Protect The Stage.
Inspire
Events unite communities and inspire generations. Wherever we Set The Stage, we look to create positive impact. That means planning energy and HVAC with neighbours in mind, working with local partners where possible, and designing quiet, efficient layouts that respect the places that host us.
We are united by our vision for inclusion, diversity and giving all the opportunity to be part of the sports, music and cultural initiatives that inspire us. We all have the ability to Inspire The Stage and we’ll be working across our events to make this happen.
World-class performances – whatever your event
From small private functions to large, prestigious projects, our teams support every temporary power and temperature control need.
- Film, television and theatre: Reliable power for sets and SFX, stable studio HVAC, and remote-location builds that arrive pre-tested and ready to connect, helping crews shoot in consistent conditions.
- Sports: Venue, training and broadcast power with clear distribution maps for spectators, athletes and production teams, plus HVAC solutions that keep concourses and suites comfortable across long schedules.
- Concerts, festivals and tours: Silent generator hire with smart placement and acoustic treatment, battery-hybrid options to reduce fuel and noise, and climate control from stage to back-of-house and hospitality.
- Corporate, political and social: Conferences and summits benefit from resilient power distribution, sensible redundancy for critical rooms and noise-sensitive layouts that keep attention on the speakers.
- Private parties: Discreet compact sets and efficient temperature control for marquees and temporary structures so guests enjoy the moment, not the machinery.
When you only have one chance to get things right, we will not let you down.
Silent Generators, Sustainable Power Solutions and HVAC for Entertainment & Events
We provide a complete toolkit for events. Our silent generators range from small portable sets to multi-megawatt packages, including super-silent and high-availability models. Hybrid energy solutions pair battery energy storage with generators and, where suitable, solar to cut fuel burn and noise. We design and install power distribution so loads remain balanced and protected, then use advanced efficiency technologies such as data-driven monitoring and smart control to optimise performance in real time. For comfort, we tailor temperature control with water chillers, air handlers and air conditioning, and we can support specialist applications such as ice rinks and snowmaking where the brief requires it.
