Without the invention of temporary power solutions, many events that have become so intrinsic to 21st century culture wouldn't even be possible. Can you imagine a life without the occasional outdoor festival or sporting event? Have you ever thought about how much the little community spirit we have left these days relies on the availability of electricity?
Outdoor Markets
Market culture is alive and well throughout the world from souks in the Middle East, to travelling vintage markets in Australia, to farmers' markets in the United Kingdom. Many retailers sell chilled or warm food stuffs and beverages, some operate electronic cash registers.
Not all markets are permanent features in permanent locales. Many now operate as "pop up" events once a month or even less often. Due to their temporary nature, they rely on power generators to provide them with the electricity needed to power devices such as fridges, grills, and tills.
Village Fêtes
Many smaller communities still keep up the age old tradition of organising village fêtes. These are a great way for neighbours to get to know each other and establish close community ties. Often held as charity events on village greens, church or school grounds, the fêtes feature attractions like talent shows, dances, games, raffles, and food stalls. They are organised by teams of local volunteers.
Sound systems are a common feature to enable speeches to be made, and music to be played. Food stalls are also likely to be kitted out with refrigerators, grills or microwaves. Of course, for these to function, power generators are required.
Festivals
Music festivals would be very primitive without access to power. Think of all those shows without half the amount of instruments, no microphones, and no light effects!
Obviously, music festival grounds aren't permanent. Most equipment is acquired on a rental basis from marquees to stage lighting for the duration of the event.
Food vendors travel from near and far to make money from festival goers who love at least one warm meal a day. They need access to equipment that will let them preserve, heat and chill food and beverages. For all this to be possible, electricity is a must.
Sporting Events
From school sports days, to marathons, to the Olympic games, all outdoor sporting events are possible thanks to generator rental. The temporary power solution ensures the provision of sound systems, big screens, and electronic score keepers.
It also lets food and drinks be served from temporary stalls, and in certain cases bets to be placed on individual athletes or animal sports stars.
