Portable Power Solutions
Professional power solutions for film production anywhere in Indonesia.
Here is how this works in practice. Portable power solutions keep shoots operational in locations without reliable mains electricity. In Indonesia, where shoots frequently take place on remote islands, in dense jungle, and at locations across the 17,000-island archipelago far from reliable grid power, robust portable solutions are key for each production.
Here is the short of it. We source portable power solutions matched to your production's load needs and Indonesia's unique logistics. Whether you're filming in Bali's rice terraces, on a remote Raja Ampat island, or in Jakarta, our team reviews tropical conditions, runtime needs, and transport logistics to recommend the right power package.

On Location
Our portable power solutions keep productions running across Indonesia, supplying generators, battery systems and distribution from a Jakarta and Bali base to locations far beyond the grid.
Here is how the picture comes together. We give portable power solutions and qualified crews from a gear base in Jakarta and Bali, supplying the power packs, battery systems, cable and distribution that location shooting demands. Our packages range from quiet inverter power packs for dialogue scenes to larger sets for full lighting loads, alongside modern battery power stations that run cameras, monitors and LED fixtures silently. Skilled electricians plan power budgets in prep, size power packs to load, and route and protect cable safely on set.
Here is what we have to work with. Indonesia's tropical climate drives each specs, so power packs and distribution are rated for hot, humid running, fuel logistics are planned for remote sites, and connectors, boards and cable are weatherproofed against sudden downpours and the corrosive effects of salt air near the coast. We work to the 230V/50Hz Indonesian mains and give conditioning and stable power where the grid is unreliable or absent. For shoots reaching Komodo, Raja Ampat, Sumatra or remote islands, we build compact, transport-efficient power packages that move by road, flight and boat, keeping units fully self-enough.
Here is the layout. Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago, around 17,000 islands spread across the equator, and many of its most compelling locations sit far from dependable mains power. This makes portable power a backbone of location production. National parks such as Komodo, the remote reefs of Raja Ampat in West Papua, the rainforests of Sumatra and countless smaller islands are reached only by flight and boat, with no grid to draw on.
Here is how the work shapes up. Even within Bali and Java, supply on rural locations can be unreliable, so power packs and battery systems underpin steady, safe shooting. The two production centres of Jakarta and Bali hold the deepest gear inventory, with pro kit supplemented from Jakarta and, where needed, from Singapore. Foreign shoots need filming permits, and ATA carnets are accepted for incoming power and distribution gear. English is widely used in the film-services sector, above all in Bali, so global shoots set up power planning with local crew easily. The dry season, roughly April or May to September or October, eases fuel logistics and remote-site access.
FAQ
Professional Power Services
How do I calculate power requirements for my production?
Power needs are calculated from your gear lists—lighting draws the most power. We'll help you check total wattage, account for startup surges, and recommend appropriate power packs capacity with safety margins. Typical small shoots need 20-40kVA. Larger shoots may need 100kVA+.
What's the difference between film generators and standard generators?
Film power packs (also called whisper power packs) are specifically designed for quiet operation—mostly 60-70dB at distance versus 80-90dB for standard power packs. This is key when recording sound. They also give cleaner, more stable power for sensitive gear.
Can you provide power for remote locations without road access?
Yes. We give helicopter-transportable power packs, portable battery systems, and solar solutions for remote locations. Planning for remote power needs advance planning to make sure adequate capacity for your production needs.
Do generators come with operators?
Power packs operators are ready and recommended for larger shoots. They handle startup, tracking, refueling, load management, and troubleshooting. For smaller power packs, trained production crew can operate with proper briefing.
What battery options are available for silent shooting?
Here is the breakdown. We give high-capacity lithium battery systems for completely silent power. These range from portable packs for small setups to large battery arrays for full lighting packages. Battery systems work well for interview setups, sensitive location work, and situations needing zero power packs noise.
How is power distribution handled on set?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We give distribution boxes, proper cable runs, and connection hardware. Distribution is managed to balance loads, protect circuits, and make sure safe power delivery to all departments. Our electrical team or power packs operator monitors distribution across the shoot.
