SCENE 01 / POWER SOLUTIONS
Power Solutions
Professional production power for your Italian production.
Power for film work covers portable power packs, battery systems, solar rigs, and hybrid setups. Each one brings steady electricity to any location. The right choice depends on your load, noise limits, the site, and the logistics of the shoot.
Our team reviews what you need and sources the right kit from local firms. That might mean quiet power packs for dialogue scenes, big units for heavy lighting, or battery systems for remote sites. We then manage delivery, fueling, and tech support across the shoot.

On Location
Generators, batteries and hybrid rigs sized for Italian shoots
Power on a shoot in Italy rarely looks the same twice. A Cinecittà stage build pulls steady 230V/400V three-phase off the studio supply. A Centro Storico shoot in Rome needs whisper-quiet power packs that meet ZTL low-emission rules, and a Dolomites exterior calls for tow-plant capacity hauled in by autostrada. Our team sources from the rental houses Italian shoots trust: Sirio Service for car-mounted gensets, Bartolini Roma for super-silent units in the 60–150kW range that cover most narrative work, and Panalight for distribution and battery stock. We carry Anton Bauer and IDX V-mount and Gold-mount blocks for cinema cameras. We also keep larger block-battery systems for hybrid rigs, which cover quieter dialogue blocks without firing a genset at all.
Planning starts with a load check scaled to your lighting and DIT package. From there, we route into the right mix of grid tie-in, power packs, and battery support. Our team sets up Enel connections at Lumiq Studios Turin and Cinecittà when the venue allows. We also arrange ATA carnets and Schengen-compliant transport for imported power gear, and we handle fuel logistics on multi-day Tuscany, Puglia and Sicily location shoots.
Italian best boys and licensed electricians work under CEI 64-8, CCNL Cinema Audiovisivo crewing rules, and INAIL safety protocols. Each tie-in and disconnection is logged for venue handover. When a shoot moves between stages and an Alpine location in one week, our coordinator manages staggered delivery, depot pickups from Rome and Milan, and the swap logistics that keep call sheets honest from prep through wrap.
The power gear we supply in Italy is sized to the load your shoot draws. We carry super-silent generators in the 60 to 150 kilowatt range for most narrative work. Larger tow-plant units cover heavy lighting, and battery blocks suit quiet dialogue scenes. Anton Bauer and IDX V-mount and Gold-mount stock powers cinema cameras and add-ons. Each unit is baffled and housed to cut noise, so it can sit close to set without harming the sound recording.
Our rental-house network keeps generators and distro close to set. Depots in Rome and Milan ship units with cable, distro boxes, and spares for the gaffer. We set up grid tie-ins at Cinecittà and Lumiq Studios Turin when the venue allows. Fuel is planned ahead for multi-day Tuscany, Sicily, and Sardinia shoots. A whisper-quiet hybrid rig covers Centro Storico Rome blocks that ZTL low-emission rules keep tight.
Italian best boys and licensed electricians handle distribution and safety on set. They work under CCNL Cinema e Audiovisivo crewing rules and INAIL protocols. Each tie-in and disconnection is logged for the venue handover. We run a load check on your lighting and DIT package before the shoot. A unit may move between a stage and a Dolomites location in one week. When it does, our coordinator stages delivery and swap logistics.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What size generators do you provide?
We supply power packs from small 20kW portable units up to large 500kW tow-behind units. Most narrative shoots use the 60-150kW range, which suits their lighting needs. Our team can size the right one for you.
Are your generators suitable for film sets?
Yes, we supply super-silent power packs built for film work. These units are baffled and housed to cut noise, so they can sit close to set without harming the sound recording.
Can you coordinate tie-ins?
Yes, we can set up building tie-ins where they are allowed and a good fit. A tie-in often costs less for studio work or sites with enough wiring already in place. Our team handles all the planning with building management.
What battery systems do you offer?
We stock V-mount and Gold mount batteries from Anton Bauer, IDX, and others for cinema cameras and add-ons. Our team also supplies block batteries for larger gear and full charging setups for multi-camera shoots.
Do you provide electricians?
Yes, we work with qualified Italian electricians skilled in film work. A local crew keeps you in line with Italian rules and makes power distribution safe and smooth.
What about remote locations?
We can power shoots in remote locations across Italy. Our team sets up power pack delivery, fuel supply, and tech support for sites without easy grid access.
