This calls for flexible systems that can scale up quickly without the risk of failure - ### High peak power requirements & complex infrastructure High power demands can overload the local grid. For multi-site events, smart, safe distribution of energy is crucial. - ### Strict noise and environmental requirements Generators must be quiet and clean, particularly in nature reserves or near residential areas. This limits the use of traditional solutions and calls for low-emission alternatives. - ### Tight scheduling for set-up and dismantling Your power supply must be available immediately as soon as production starts. There is no room for delays, so reliability and preparation are essential. ![Festival extrema outdoor Belgium](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvRmVzdGl2YWwtZXh0cmVtYS1vdXRkb29yLUJlbGdpdW0tdGhvbWFzLWxyLmpwZyIsImVkaXRzIjp7ImpwZWciOnsicXVhbGl0eSI6ODIsInByb2dyZXNzaXZlIjp0cnVlLCJ0cmVsbGlzUXVhbnRpc2F0aW9uIjp0cnVlLCJvdmVyc2hvb3REZXJpbmdpbmciOnRydWUsIm9wdGltaXplU2NhbnMiOnRydWV9LCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjQwMCwiaGVpZ2h0IjozMDAsImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn0sInNoYXJwZW4iOnRydWV9fQ==) ![Niels Sprenger Bredenoord](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2F2YXRhci9OaWVscy1TcHJlbmdlci1CcmVkZW5vb3JkLnBuZyIsImVkaXRzIjp7InBuZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MiwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWV9LCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjEyMCwiaGVpZ2h0IjoxNjAsImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn19fQ==) ![Extrema outdoor logo](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL3BhcnRuZXIvZXh0cmVtYS1vdXRkb29yLWxvZ28uanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5IjoxMDAsInByb2dyZXNzaXZlIjpmYWxzZSwidHJlbGxpc1F1YW50aXNhdGlvbiI6dHJ1ZSwib3ZlcnNob290RGVyaW5naW5nIjp0cnVlLCJvcHRpbWl6ZVNjYW5zIjp0cnVlfSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjoyNTAsImhlaWdodCI6MTU4LCJmaXQiOiJpbnNpZGUifX19) With the Big Battery Box, we enabled the main stage to run on a smart, hybrid energy solution, ensuring reliable and more sustainable power throughout the event.

A beautiful location, in the middle of the Veluwe. The organization is in the hands of Accres. And since the terrain is in the middle of a Natura 2000 area the organization of the event is not all that simple. For example, the Nature Conservation Act must be taken into consideration. This includes rules concerning the noise levels and lighting, to protect the bats and other animals in the area. At the same time the restrictions concerning nitrogen and CO2 must be taken into account as well.

EPG specialises in power supply for major international events. This primarily involves large-scale sporting events broadcast on television. The stakes are enormous at such events: a few seconds’ blackout during a TV broadcast can result in significant financial loss for sponsors who pay for TV exposure. The Event Power Group takes care of that for them.

This method requires more preparation than a regular grid takeover.

Storing clean energy in batteries allows us to provide quiet and emission free energy in areas with insufficient grid access or for clients who would like to work as sustainably as possible. Taking an important step in this energy transition, Bredenoord was among the first parties to develop a commercially usable energy storage system. The latest development in this field is the Battery Box.](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/insights/applications-of-energy-storage-in-batteries/ "The many applications of energy storage in batteries")[![Ps 100 header](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvcHMtMTAwLWhlYWRlci5qcGciLCJlZGl0cyI6eyJqcGVnIjp7InF1YWxpdHkiOjgyLCJwcm9ncmVzc2l2ZSI6dHJ1ZSwidHJlbGxpc1F1YW50aXNhdGlvbiI6dHJ1ZSwib3ZlcnNob290RGVyaW5naW5nIjp0cnVlLCJvcHRpbWl6ZVNjYW5zIjp0cnVlfSwicmVzaXplIjp7IndpZHRoIjozNzUsImhlaWdodCI6Mzc1LCJmaXQiOiJjb3ZlciJ9fX0=) Which role can hybrid energy supply play in your project?
