Panalux Cape Town Introduces Cinergy’s Non-Fossil-Fuel Power For Western Cape Shoots – UK Broadcast News

Panalux, the motion-picture lighting and power rental specialist within the Panavision group, has rolled out access to Cinergy’s complete range of modular, non-fossil-fuel power systems exclusively via its Cape Town facility. The move provides productions in the Western Cape with new options to meet sustainability targets and curb on-set emissions, with the solutions integrated into Panalux Cape Town’s established rental workflows, technical expertise and on-set support.

As producers and studios accelerate the shift away from diesel generators, Cinergy’s battery-led and solar-charged platforms offer a practical, lower-emissions alternative that slots into familiar production practices. Panalux streamlines deployment by handling rental, integration and on-set setup, allowing crews to maintain standard configurations while benefiting from cleaner power.

“Productions in the Western Cape — and internationally — are increasingly looking to reduce emissions throughout the entire production cycle and improve conditions for cast and crew. With low-emission power options, we make it simple to achieve both goals regardless of production size or budget,” said Adrian Burger, Managing Director for Panavision and Panalux South Africa. “By offering Cinergy’s sustainable power solutions and our own in-house expertise to ensure seamless operation on set, we’re expanding the choices available to our customers while maintaining the reliable service and support they expect from us.”

Cinergy’s line-up encompasses modular solar-hybrid and battery-based power platforms configurable for everything from compact commercial shoots to large-scale productions and live outdoor events. Claimed benefits include silent-running generators with zero emissions at point of use, remotely monitored power distribution optimised in real time, rapid multi-site deployment, low or no maintenance with no refuelling required, and smooth integration with existing production workflows.

“Energy has become a key concern for productions, affecting schedules, locations, sound, crew comfort, permitting and costs,” said Abe Cambridge, Co-Founder of Cinergy. “Cinergy was built by people who understand smart energy systems, with a deep passion for putting reliable technology in the hands of demanding professionals. Collaborating with Panalux means we can bring this new generation of power into the production mainstream — not as a green add-on, but as better, smarter infrastructure for how our favourite films and events get made.”

By adding Cinergy’s solutions to its Cape Town offering, Panalux is equipping producers with tools that can enhance South Africa’s competitiveness as a filming destination. Drawing on decades of support for film and television in the region, the company remains focused on delivering dependable, well-supported power provision, backed by on-the-ground expertise, logistics and customer service that local crews trust.
