Grid Faeries

Grid Faeries is a United Kingdom-based supplier of battery-based temporary power generation, focused on the live events and festival sector. The company describes itself as being on a mission to make festivals greener, and its core proposition is straightforward: instead of trucking diesel generators to the same festival site year after year, Grid Faeries brings in battery power as an onsite source of clean electricity so that audiences and organisers can hear the music rather than the hum of generators. The business is built around three connected strands of work. The first is short-term battery power provision at events. The second is investigating and funding the installation of permanent grid connections at festival and event sites, on the reasoning that annual events should not need temporary generators brought to the same location every year. The third is the development of new green energy generation projects adjacent to festival and event sites, which can both help cover the cost of bringing in the grid and directly generate the power an event needs. Taken together, these strands aim to take fossil fuels out of live events and to "ditch the diesel." Grid Faeries works with partners and clients across the UK festival circuit. In 2024 the company, together with green energy supplier Ecotricity, powered the Arcadia Dragonfly stage at Glastonbury, the Charlie Gillett stage at WOMAD, and Massive Attack's stage on Clifton Downs in Bristol. It has since returned to Arcadia and expanded to London, adding the inaugural LIDO Festival and All Points East to its UK tour. Media coverage has highlighted its work bringing fossil-free power to Reading Festival, powering WOMAD's main stage with wind and sun, and its association with LIDO Festival's battery-powered production. Grid Faeries is a private commercial venture rather than a listed company, and public evidence does not disclose its founding year, founders, ownership structure or headquarters location. Its identity in structured data is simply that of a supplier of battery-based temporary power generation. The brand sits at the intersection of the live music industry and the renewable energy transition, positioning itself as a practical, event-focused alternative to diesel generation for festivals and outdoor events in the United Kingdom.

Grid Faeries is a United Kingdom-based supplier of battery-based temporary power generation for live events. Public evidence does not record a founding date, founder or ownership structure; the company's own materials present it as a mission-driven venture whose purpose is to make festivals greener by removing diesel generation from live events. The company's model developed around three connected strands. The first is the short-term provision of battery power as an onsite source of clean electricity for festivals and events. The second is the investigation and funded installation of permanent grid connections at event sites, based on the argument that annual events should not require temporary generators to be brought to the same site year after year. The third is the development of new green energy generation projects adjacent to festival and event sites, intended both to help cover the cost of bringing in the grid and to generate power directly for the event itself. The stated aim across all three is to take fossil fuels out of live events and to "ditch the diesel." By 2024 Grid Faeries was working at scale on the UK festival circuit in partnership with the green energy supplier Ecotricity. In that year the two companies powered the Arcadia Dragonfly stage at Glastonbury, the Charlie Gillett stage at WOMAD, and Massive Attack's stage on Clifton Downs in Bristol. These projects placed the brand at high-profile events and connected it to artists and stages with strong sustainability associations. In the following period Grid Faeries returned to Arcadia and expanded its UK tour to London, adding the inaugural LIDO Festival and All Points East. Media coverage in the festival and live-events trade press documented its work bringing fossil-free power to Reading Festival, powering WOMAD's main stage with wind and sun, and its involvement in LIDO Festival's battery-powered production. Related coverage noted that LIDO was among 25 festivals to achieve A Greener Future certification and that all of AEG Europe's entertainment venues in the United Kingdom are powered by renewable energy, reflecting the wider industry context in which Grid Faeries operates. Grid Faeries remains a private commercial venture. Its structured-data identity is simply that of a supplier of battery-based temporary power generation, and no public evidence in the supplied sources discloses its headquarters, founding year, founders or parent company.
