Battery or generator

Temporary event power, sized to the job

Most events don't need a permanent supply — they need temporary power that shows up, runs clean, and packs away when the job's done. For lighting, comms, welfare and general site loads, Instagrid battery units are the starting point: silent, no exhaust, nothing to refuel or site away from the crowd. Between the battery and e-generator ranges, that covers most temporary power generation needs without a fixed connection or a fuel delivery to schedule.

For higher or sustained loads — construction-scale supply, 24-hour welfare, anything the battery alone won't carry — a generator or hybrid setup earns its place. Our guide to hybrid power for events runs through when to make that switch, and the total cost of ownership guide compares fuel and charging over a full season rather than day one. The generator battery savings calculator puts figures on that switch for your load and run hours.

Round the clock

Continuous power, without the constant engine

Some sites never switch off — 24-hour welfare, security and monitoring, refrigeration that can't drop out overnight. Hybrid power carries it: the battery covers the quiet hours in silence, the generator cuts in when the load demands it and recharges the battery while it runs. Fewer engine hours, less fuel, less noise. The generator running cost calculator shows what those engine hours cost over a season.

Public & institutional sites

Industrial temporary power and public spaces

Market stalls, stadiums, town centres, industrial yards and university campuses share the same power problem: no fixed supply, the public moving around the equipment, and noise or emissions limits that rule out a generator running behind a stall or stand. Add PAT testing and site-safety sign-off, and a trailing fuel line becomes one more thing to justify to a safety officer.

Instagrid battery units are built for exactly this: silent running, no exhaust, and no trailing cable to a generator — nothing that needs the public kept back from it. The same units power lighting, signage, PA and card-payment loads across industrial units, public spaces and the wider built environment — sized and quoted against the actual footfall and layout, not a generic day rate.
