Supply2Location provides sustainable equipment designed to support and power film and TV production sets with reduced environmental impact. Our range includes hybrid generators, sustainable battery units, eco-friendly lighting solutions, and electric vehicles, helping productions lower carbon emissions without compromising reliability or performance.
Our sustainable equipment range offers practical, high-performance alternatives that integrate seamlessly into existing on-set infrastructure.
Our hybrid generators are designed to power film and TV sets in an environmentally friendly way. By combining traditional generator capability with battery storage technology, hybrid systems reduce fuel consumption and lower carbon emissions compared to conventional generators.
Hybrid generators power lighting and recording equipment using stored battery energy during lower load periods, and will only activate the diesel engine when necessary. This reduces fuel usage and lowers overall emissions. For productions aiming to meet sustainability guidelines or reduce their environmental footprint, hybrid generator hire provides a practical and proven solution.

Hybrid generators are very effective on productions with variable power demand, such as location shoots or night filming, where power loads vary throughout the day.
Our eco-friendly battery units offer zero-emission power solutions that operate with minimal noise and without fuel, making them ideal for sound-sensitive sets and environmentally restricted locations.
Battery units can power lighting rigs, production offices, welfare units, and technical equipment with clean, silent energy. For productions requiring additional capacity, hybrid battery systems can be paired with a diesel generator to provide backup power when needed.
Our battery towerlights provide a clean, quiet, and efficient lighting option for film and TV productions. Battery towerlights run without any co2 emissions and create minimal noise pollution. For this reason, battery-powered towerlights are particularly suitable for residential areas, night shoots, environmentally sensitive sites, and productions operating under strict noise restrictions.
Hybrid towerlights combine battery storage with generator backup, ensuring reliable lighting performance throughout extended shoots. By reducing fuel consumption and engine runtime, these units support greener filming practices without sacrificing brightness or coverage.
Supply2Location also offers electric vehicle hire to support low-emission production logistics. We stock electric vehicles as well as diesel-powered ULEZ-compliant vehicles which can be used city centres within the UK.
Electric vehicles help reduce on-set emissions and noise while supporting the transport of crew, equipment, and supplies between locations, making them a great choice for productions based in London, where there are restrictions on emissions.
For over 15 years, Supply2Location Group have earned a trusted reputation for delivering the essential infrastructure required by film and television productions across the UK. We have supported everything from small independent shoots to multi-million-pound blockbusters, providing reliable equipment and responsive service when it matters most.
Our team understands the pressures of production and the importance of dependable logistics. With nationwide coverage, flexible hire terms, and equipment maintained to a high standard, we are a trusted partner for production managers, location teams, and technical crews.
The film industry can become more sustainable by reducing fuel consumption, lowering emissions, and using energy-efficient equipment. This includes switching to hybrid generators, battery-powered lighting, electric vehicles, and improved waste management systems. Planning power usage carefully and choosing low-emission alternatives where possible can significantly reduce the environmental impact of a production.
Yes, hybrid generators are highly effective for film and TV productions. They reduce fuel usage by storing energy in batteries and only running the diesel engine when necessary. This lowers emissions, cuts down on noise, and improves fuel efficiency without compromising power output.
The main advantages of hybrid systems include reduced carbon emissions, lower fuel consumption, quieter operation, and improved efficiency during variable power demand. They are particularly useful for productions aiming to meet sustainability targets. The primary consideration is that hybrid systems can have a higher upfront hire cost compared to standard generators, although this is often offset by reduced fuel usage over time.
