Overdrive Energy Solutions

We talk a lot about the benefits of batteries over diesel — no leaks, less cables, fume-free and silent. Last Sunday we had the pleasure of providing sustainable energy for Providence St. Joseph Hospital's Center for Cancer Prevention and Treatment's "Circle of Life" Brunch. This event recognized survivors, patients and caregiving teams. Tables were lined with flowers and toasts were made. The sound of live jazz filled the air between poetry excerpts and speeches. The mood was light, relaxed and the sky was sunny. Now picture this scene again with a loud, diesel generator blasting in the background and fumes wafting through the air of the hospital courtyard. Sustainable energy not only makes sense — it matters. Thank you AKJOHNSTON Group for the opportunity to create a greener backdrop for this deserving group of attendees.

That’s 5 sustainably powered performances in a week! From the Kona Brewing Hawaii DJ booth at #venicesummerfest all the way to #Guster playing on a Stageline SL320 on The Green at the Shelburne Museum in #Vermont, we’re proud to be leading the way in sustainably powered concerts. Thanks to Richard Cadena, REVERB, The Gym Venice, #LBliving, AKJOHNSTON Group, Higher Ground, EG4 Electronics, Moxion Power & NOMAD Transportable Power Systems for helping #themusicdecarbonationproject!

Another sustainably powered, diesel-free show! Overdrive Energy Solutions partnered with REVERB, NOMAD Transportable Power Systems & Higher Ground to power #Guster at the Shelburne Museum this weekend in Burlington, VT. This is likely the largest battery system ever to power a US stage 100% diesel-free, and there was enough power for a stage 5x as big! Big thanks to Richard Cadena for all his support on this one. #sustainablevents #sustainableconcerts #musicdecabonationproject

Scenes from yesterday’s Long Beach #TacoTequila Fest. The main stage, bars, Kids Zone, event check-in, 12 food vendors (and more!) all powered sustainably! Pair tacos with salsa, not diesel.

We've deployed over 2 dozen Moxion Power systems for mobile office trailers. When paired with our own #DiskoBox battery power stations, we can boost the output by as much as 2x, add UPS backup and solar charging. At Google I/O, we ran 2 office trailers like the one below for a month, completely diesel free, charged by solar, with no down-time. Mobile BESS systems are much more than generator replacements. When deployed and managed properly, they are cleaner, greener, more reliable and more cost effective than any diesel solution! #sustainableconcerts #sustainablefestivals #MP75

Tomorrow’s forecast calls for sunshine, tacos, tequila — and sustainable energy! We’re excited for another year of providing green power to the annual Long Beach Taco & Tequila Fest. See you there! 🌮🍹🔋 🎟️ https://lnkd.in/gwM2XUEm

Kudos to the MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative for forming the committee for sustainability study. There are some amazing members of this group, and we're looking forward to their findings on sustainability in the live music industry.
