SCENE 01 / PORTABLE POWER SOLUTIONS
Portable Power Solutions
Professional power solutions for film production anywhere in Austria.
Here is how this works in practice. Portable power solutions keep shoots operational in locations without reliable mains electricity. In Austria, where shoots frequently take place in Alpine mountain locations, historic estates, and remote valleys, battery-powered systems, compact power packs, and hybrid power units give the clean, steady energy that production departments need.
Here is the short of it. We source portable power solutions matched to your production's load needs and location constraints. Whether you're filming in the Tyrolean Alps, along the Danube, or at historic Viennese palaces, our team reviews noise levels, runtime needs, and site-level factors to recommend and deliver the right power package for Austria's 230V/50Hz electrical environment.

On Location
Portable power keeps Austrian shoots running where mains supply runs out — remote alpine valleys in the Ötztal and the Grossglockner area, and heritage interiors where load on existing wiring is restricted.
Here is how this works in practice. We give portable power options for shoots filming across Austria — power packs, battery systems, distribution boards and the crews to run them safely. Power is the quiet backbone of a shoot: lighting, camera, monitors, comms and catering all depend on a clean, trusted supply, and getting it wrong stalls a unit.
Here is the short of it. Our teams specify the right combination for each job, from quiet inverter power packs and large-capacity battery packs for documentary and commercial work to full towable gensets for feature production. We supply and operate distribution, cabling and the electrical crew that manages load, and we set up delivery and fuel logistics across studio facilities and locations across the country, from Vienna to the regional centres.
Here is the breakdown. Austria's geography makes portable power key rather than optional. Roughly two-thirds of the country is mountainous. Shoots in the alpine valleys of the Tyrol, the Ötztal or around the Grossglockner are often well beyond a trusted mains connection — our crews plan power packs placement, fuel resupply and battery running for cold conditions where capacity drops and gear is stressed.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. In Austria's heritage interiors at Schönbrunn, the Hofburg and the UNESCO-listed centres of Vienna and Salzburg, conservation rules limit the load that can be drawn from historic wiring, so portable power and battery systems let our teams light and run a set without overtaxing the building — within limits cleared with the Vienna Film Commission and Bundesland authorities.
We also advise on how power rental and electrical-crew days fit the ÖFI+, FISA+ and regional rebates framework.
FAQ
Professional Power Services
How do I calculate power requirements for my production?
Power needs are calculated from your gear lists—lighting draws the most power. We'll help you check total wattage, account for startup surges, and recommend appropriate power packs capacity with safety margins. Typical small shoots need 20-40kVA. Larger shoots may need 100kVA+.
What's the difference between film generators and standard generators?
Film power packs (also called whisper power packs) are specifically designed for quiet operation—mostly 60-70dB at distance versus 80-90dB for standard power packs. This is key when recording sound. They also give cleaner, more stable power for sensitive gear.
Can you provide power for remote locations without road access?
Yes. We give helicopter-transportable power packs, portable battery systems, and solar solutions for remote locations. Planning for remote power needs advance planning to make sure adequate capacity for your production needs.
Do generators come with operators?
Power packs operators are ready and recommended for larger shoots. They handle startup, tracking, refueling, load management, and troubleshooting. For smaller power packs, trained production crew can operate with proper briefing.
What battery options are available for silent shooting?
Here is the breakdown. We give 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 needing zero power packs noise.
How is power distribution handled on set?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We give distribution boxes, proper cable runs, and connection hardware. Distribution is managed to balance loads, protect circuits, and make sure safe power delivery to all departments. Our electrical team or power packs operator monitors distribution across the shoot.
