This is a great headline to read today from London Stadium Mayor of London Ameresco and incredibly encouraging for the live events industry. Yes we need all stadiums to have direct access to renewable energy. It makes our job to provide emissions-free power for artists and events so much easier. However it is worth noting that it is only the beginning for events and artists to have access to an "in-house" renewable energy source. For this source to be fully utilised, any touring artist or event production team will need to be fully trusting that the source is 100% reliable. Showpower has powered over 50 Coldplay stadium shows in more than 15 countries with our SmartGrid battery system, so we've got expert knowledge and direct experience in the live stadium environment, and in particular the multitude of challenges that come with connecting to in-house sources Drop us a line and we will tell you more about it 🔋 ☎ https://lnkd.in/dqh4KKZs

Global Citizen Festival 2024 is a wrap! We're on our way home and our #SmartGrid system is on its way back to Chicago for some tlc. Batteries need love too 🔋 💚 🔋 But its not just the battery system and software that is essential for this exciting sustainable transition. It's also the power experts. Alongside bringing clean energy solutions to the event industry, Showpower's mission is to also raise awareness of what is going on behind the scenes, especially within temporary event power, to inspire a new generation of technicians, production specialists and event experts. These technical masterminds are the foundation of every single event. And their work is tough. Tough conditions, tough hours, tough locations and physical challenges to face. So we need good working conditions for a sustainable future, not just sustainable power. This is a huge shout-out to technical team Rob Scully BSc(Hons) AMEI FIEMA Tim Benson Paul Schurink, MBE and the CES Power team, especially JT, and David Beame. Our men sat out in the rain for 3 days straight during show days and breakdown, without cover, to deliver the show. So let's do it for them and for future generations 🔋 😎 #production #events #BTS #power

We're just going to come right out and say it 😎 As if powering over 50 Coldplay stadium shows wasn't impressive enough, providing battery 🔋 ⚡ power for the main stage at the Global Citizen Festival 2024 with such an incredible lineup: Chris Martin, Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Jelly Roll, Lisa from Blackpink, RAYE and Doja Cat. We're not sure they all noticed, since the lights stayed on without interruption for the entire show - that is 100% battery reliability as standard. Power for major events is changing. And we're happy to be at the forefront driving innovation for more sustainable power solutions for the world's biggest events. Don't get left behind. Let's start talking 2025 so we can continue the transition away from diesel generation and change the industry 🌱 Kellen Edmondson Hugh Evans Michael Sheldrick David Beame Paul Schurink, MBE Tim Benson Rob Scully BSc(Hons) AMEI FIEMA Paul Traynor Lukas Howell MSI CEnv FIEMA FRSA #events #sustainability #power #energy #cleantech #batteries #smartgrid #newyork

A huge thanks to Hugh Evans co-founder and CEO of Global Citizen announcing on Good Morning America that the main stage of the 2024 Central Park festival is being powered with our #SmartGrid battery system. This is another huge collaboration for us and testament to Global Citizen’s trust in Showpower Global B.V. to pull off this ambitious event together, and something that could not have been done without the support of #Coldplay, David Beame, Michael Sheldrick, Everland and Hope Solutions (Scroll to 2:47) https://lnkd.in/dG7P5STd

Global Citizen is powered by #action And this year the 2024 festival main stage and VIP area is being powered by our batteries. FIFA FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States just announced that Global Citizen will be producing the Super Bowl-style halftime show for the World Cup Final starting in 2026. Gianni Infantino dropped by the SmartGrid system just before the announcement. So hopefully we’ll be seeing the World Cup 2026 and the halftime show powered by batteries too 🌱🔋😎 https://lnkd.in/dinHyqZC Michael Sheldrick Hugh Evans David Beame Paul Schurink, MBE Rob Scully BSc(Hons) AMEI FIEMA Tim Benson Lukas Howell MSI CEnv FIEMA FRSA Federico Addiechi #sustainability #events #batterypower #worldcup2026
