Enerlytic provides powerful, user-friendly energy monitoring for TV, film and production, helping teams understand how temporary power is actually used.
The TV, film and production industry relies heavily on temporary power – from location shoots and outside broadcasts to studio-based productions. Historically, this has meant widespread use of diesel generators, often oversized to avoid risk, leading to unnecessary fuel use, emissions, noise and cost.
As the industry accelerates its transition towards net zero, there is growing pressure on productions, suppliers and commissioners to understand how much power is really being used, and how that demand can be reduced, optimised and ultimately electrified.
Enerlytic helps production teams move from assumptions to evidence-based decisions, using real-time energy data to support cleaner, more efficient temporary power.
Productions operate in complex, fast-moving environments where power needs can change hour by hour.
Common challenges include:
In 2024 alone, UK productions burned over three million litres of fossil fuel in generators, with more than half of productions still relying almost entirely on liquid fuels for temporary power.
In December 2025, BAFTA albert launched SPARK: Clean Temporary Power by 2030 the industry’s roadmap for a permanent shift away from fossil-fuelled generators. It is now recognised as one of the most immediate and controllable opportunities for emissions reduction in the screen industry.
SPARK sets out a clear pathway built around three pillars:
A key enabler running through SPARK is data and insights. The report highlights that without accurate, consistent power data, productions struggle to size equipment correctly, justify cleaner alternatives, or build confidence across the supply chain.
This is where Enerlytic plays a critical role.
Enerlytic provides portable energy monitoring and reporting tools that give production teams a clear, real-world view of how temporary power is actually being used. Our solutions enable productions to:
Monitor real-time generator or power system loads
Identify true peak demand and average usage
Understand generator utilisation and inefficiencies
Compare measured data against sustainability assumptions
Build evidence to safely downsize generators or adopt batteries
Support SPARK-aligned decisions with reliable data
Objectives included:
The results:
This kind of evidence-led approach is exactly what SPARK calls for as the industry transitions away from fossil fuels.
“Too often, productions overspec generators, running them inefficiently and wasting fuel in the process. Using Enerlytic’s monitoring tools gave us real-time insight into peak and average loads… tools like this are a genuine game-changer.”
