Portable Power Solutions
Professional power solutions for film production anywhere in Spain.
Portable power solutions keep productions operational in locations without reliable mains electricity. In Spain, where shoots frequently take place in historic Andalusian pueblos blancos, remote Sierra Nevada locations, and Canary Islands terrain, reliable portable power is essential for professional production quality.
We source portable power solutions matched to your production's load requirements and location constraints. Whether filming in Seville's Alcázar, on the Canary Islands, or in Catalonia's mountains, our team evaluates heat factors, noise restrictions, and heritage site regulations to recommend the right power package.

Honda EU2200i and EU7000is silent generators, Wacker Neuson tow-behind 50/150 kVA and Volta Solar off-grid packages across Pyrenees, Picos de Europa and Canary Islands
Here is how this works in practice. Spain's portable-power inventory carries silent-generator and off-grid solar packages across the full range of Spanish exterior environments. From the Almería desert (the Lawrence of Arabia + Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western country). Through Canary Islands volcanic terrain (Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote — all 50% production-rebate zones). To the Pyrenees + Picos de Europa + Sierra Nevada mountain shoots and the Galicia + Asturias Atlantic coast. The standard small-footprint inventory is Honda EU2200i silent inverters (1.9 kVA, 53 dB at 7m) for camera-cart, monitor-tent and Steadicam-charging duties.
Here is the short of it. Honda EU7000is (7 kVA, 60 dB) for small LED-panel and wireless-charging clusters. And Wacker Neuson G50 and G150 tow-behind diesel sets (50 kVA and 150 kVA) for lighting-stage and HMI runs. Honda EU3000is fills the mid-tier slot. The Volta Solar partnership supplies the off-grid solar + lithium-battery hybrid packages used for multi-day Pyrenees and Picos de Europa shoots and the volcanic-terrain Canary Islands productions where road-tow access is limited or site-level-protection rules forbid diesel operation.
Here is the breakdown. Engagements begin with a load schedule (steady draw + peak surge + duty cycle). A generator-noise spec for the on-set sound team to clear against the CNMC range and the gaffer's lighting plan. And a fuel-logistics chain for multi-day or remote shoots. Heritage zones (Alhambra Granada, Alcázar Sevilla, Mezquita Córdoba, Toledo, Salamanca, Mallorca Tramuntana UNESCO) carry diesel-restriction windows handled with battery-only LED and silent-generator-only protocols. Summer 40°C+ Sevilla, Almería and Madrid heat protocols add generator-cooling shrouds.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Fuel-storage shade tents and rotating fuel-delivery schedules so peak-draw failures don't shut a shoot down mid-block. Mediapro Studios Sant Joan Despí, Pinewood Iberia. Eyeworks Madrid and RTVE Prado del Rey stage power runs draw from grid-tied transformers with Wacker Neuson backup for redundancy. Canary Islands volcanic-terrain shoots — the Solo Star Wars Story Fuerteventura, Wonder Woman 1984 Fuerteventura/Lanzarote. In the Heart of the Sea Lanzarote and Black Crab Fuerteventura locations — used Volta Solar hybrid packages. Bilingual ES/EN gen-op coordination is standard, Catalan + Galician + Valencian regional ease on the wider bench. And NAV-equivalent ATA carnet through AEAT clears imported generators cleanly.
FAQ
Professional Power Services
How do I calculate power requirements for my production?
Power requirements are calculated from your equipment lists—lighting draws the most power. We'll help you assess total wattage, account for startup surges, and recommend appropriate generator capacity with safety margins. Typical small shoots need 20-40kVA; larger productions may need 100kVA+.
What's the difference between film generators and standard generators?
Film generators (also called whisper generators) are specifically designed for quiet operation—typically 60-70dB at distance versus 80-90dB for standard generators. This is essential when recording sound. They also provide cleaner, more stable power for sensitive equipment.
Can you provide power for remote locations without road access?
Yes. We offer helicopter-transportable generators, portable battery systems, and solar solutions for remote locations. Planning for remote power requires advance coordination to ensure adequate capacity for your production needs.
Do generators come with operators?
Generator operators are available and recommended for larger productions. They handle startup, monitoring, refueling, load management, and troubleshooting. For smaller generators, trained production crew can operate with proper briefing.
What battery options are available for silent shooting?
We provide high-capacity lithium battery systems for completely silent power. These range from portable packs for small setups to large battery arrays for full lighting packages. Battery systems work well for interview setups, sensitive location work, and situations requiring zero generator noise.
How is power distribution handled on set?
We provide distribution boxes, proper cable runs, and connection hardware. Distribution is managed to balance loads, protect circuits, and ensure safe power delivery to all departments. Our electrical team or generator operator monitors distribution throughout the shoot.
