Transforming the Future of Mobile Power: Equoia
Equoia is rethinking mobile power with an Energy as a Service ecosystem.
About
Equoia is rethinking mobile power with an Energy as a Service ecosystem of Hyper Mobile Battery Storage to replace diesel and petrol generators, starting with the film and television industry.
With 50 years of experience between the cofounders, Jessica Gower and Puven Pather, they have a deep understanding of the mechanics of the screen industry and needs of creatives. Leveraging our extensive experience and relationships, we are poised to introduce innovative products and services that cater specifically to the industry's requirements
Why Melbourne
Melbourne has a vibrant screen production industry and is an attractive location for Australian and International offshore productions due to Studio facilities, diversity in locations, world class crews and large breadth of actors. Being our home town we have established relationships and connections within the sector providing valuable support and opportunities for collaboration.
Equoia’s climate solution involves an immediate reduction in CO2e output from local mobile power generation and implementing energy-efficient practices.
Challenge
Mobile energy provided by Diesel generators is polluting, inefficient and produces large amounts of Co2e. We are electrifying film and television production to transition the screen sector away from its fossil fuel reliance to renewables to reduce cost and Co2e output.
The global screen industry has evolved since its inception. But the way mobile power has been delivered to the screen industry has essentially stayed the same since the beginning of cinema which is over 120 years old. The insatiable demand for screen content from streamers continues to grow which has led to more productions across the world leading to greater investment into facilities and services for the screen industry, including mobile power.
Solution
Equoia’s climate solution involves an immediate reduction in CO2e output from local mobile power generation and implementing energy-efficient practices.
While creating positive climate impacts, Equoia is solving various customer problems related to cost-effectiveness, and operational efficiency and reducing carbon footprints, complying with environmental regulations, lowering energy costs, improving brand reputation through sustainability initiatives, and mitigating risks associated with climate change. There are also social benefits like less noise and air pollution for both crew members and surrounding communities where productions are filming.
