Leverage Point Entertainment, Garden Studios and Greener Power Solutions are the latest organisations to support SPARK and its ambition to move the screen industry away from fossil fuel-powered generators and towards clean temporary power by 2030. Their support adds to a growing network of organisations across the screen industry working together to make cleaner power more accessible and achievable on set.

Speaking about their support for SPARK, Zsofia Szemerédy, Founder of Leverage Point Entertainment has said:
“SPARK works because it treats power as a system problem, not a production problem. No single crew can shift fossil fuel generators off set on their own, however committed they are. This only works if broadcasters, studios, suppliers and productions move together. That’s what makes the Statement of Intent significant. It’s not a pledge from one part of the industry; it’s a shared commitment across the whole chain. This is why Leverage Point Entertainment is proud to support a scheme that enhances the transition of the industry.”
Iris Hable, Growth Marketeer UK, Ireland and DACH at Greener Power Solutions, has also shared why the company is supporting SPARK:
“Collective action is what makes the energy transition real. Greener exists to make clean temporary power easy to access and easy to use. Being part of SPARK gives us another platform to be part of the solution.”
Julie Hoegh, Head of Sustainability at Garden Studios, has also highlighted the role studios can play in the transition:
‘We’re excited to join SPARK and Albert in their work to decarbonise temporary power. As a studio sourcing 100% renewable electricity and biogas, with a ban on diesel generators, we’re well positioned to offer low-carbon energy solutions. We will encourage our clients to connect to our grid, when possible, or to use clean technology generators.’
Hands On Clean Power Workshop
Moving away from fossil fuel-powered generators isn’t just about knowing what needs to change. It’s about understanding what’s available now and feeling confident about using it. On Tuesday 8 September, SPARK supporters Get Set Hire and Creative Zero are hosting a Hands-On Clean Power Workshop at Garden Studios in London. The half-day session will give production professionals the chance to get up close with the latest clean power technologies, ask questions directly and see how they can work in real production environments.
Tuesday 8 September | 9:30am–1pm
Garden Studios, Iris Stage 3, London
