Lead planning organisations can use this to ensure efficient use of generator power and guide procurement of power contractors.
Contracted event services businesses that will draw power on site can use this to check that they are efficiently using generator fuel and reducing requirement as far as possible..
There is an environmental / energy policy which details intentions to reduce emissions from generator power. Don’t have one? Download a template.
To detail how generator usage will be mitigated across all event deliveries, a Sustainable Event Power Plan is created in partnership with key suppliers and power contractors. Need inspiration? Download a template.
Power mapping is part of the event planning process to accurately spec supplier energy requirements to reduce size of generators where possible, thereby reducing diesel usage.
On-site equipment usage is monitored to ascertain whether or not the volume or frequency of power supplied was accurately specified.
Power requirements are accurately spec’d to optimise energy requirements through mains power in order to reduce generator loads.
Onsite renewables, battery or hybrid systems to reduce fuel usage are prioritised across the event site.
There is a target in place for all generators to operate at an average of above 60% load.
Fuel usage, generator runtimes, average generator load and KWhs exported are all measured by generator by day and reported on post event.
Carbon emissions from fuel usage used in generators is balanced (offset).
Learnings are shared with clients, and suppliers where appropriate, to shape energy improvements and efficiencies for future events.
