After debuting on a smaller WOMAD stage in 2024, we powered WOMAD’s main stage with our full 3MWh battery. It also powered the Love Saves The Day main stage in Bristol for the first time, and The Ballroom, Reading Festival’s first battery-powered stage.

The last few summers we've shown that festivals powered by diesel will be a thing of the past. 75% of festival power still comes from diesel generators - so there’s still a lot of work to do - but we’re leading by example and the appetite has exploded. @agreenerfuture_

Festivals powered by batteries and grid are not only cleaner and better for our planet, but provide quicker response and make no noise or smell! No generators chugging away in the background, only the sound of music. iqmagazine.com/magazine/crea…

Festivals have relied on diesel generators for decades, but that's changing. We're delighted to be partnering with Reading Festival for the first time to power The Ballroom stage with renewable energy from the wind and the sun.

Grid Faeries X Ecotricity is on a mission to take diesel out of events. Since 2024, we've brought batteries packed with energy from the wind and the sun to some of the UK's biggest stages and festivals. Next up - we're bringing this energy to Reading Festival's Ballroom Stage!

Great to be listed on the Mixmag festival line-ups 😎 We’re powering the main stage at WOMAD festival. Taking diesel out of events is what we’re here to do, and it’s fun to do that in such great company ⚡️ 🧚 @agreenerfuture_ @DaleVince @ecotricity @ClaireONeill_22

Last year we helped LIDO power their main stage with 100% green energy – no diesel, no nonsense – just sun and wind, stored in our big-ass Grid Faeries x Ecotricity battery. That’s how you do festivals in a climate emergency….⚡🧚🏻 accessaa.co.uk/lido-among-25…

Dale Vince: “When people go to a concert or a football match, they’re open to new experiences. It's a chance to show them what you’re doing - solar panels, car chargers, vegan food - and let them think about it.”  “You don’t have to preach. You just show people what’s possible."

Super happy to power "The Showmans Show"... with our battery, packed with energy from the wind and the sun…:) And we won the Green Supplier Award. Huge big up to our fantastic technical team, and the fine folks at the Showmans Show for daring to do things differently 🧚🏻 ⚡
