Reel Green™ Clean Energy Committee Launches Power Tie-Ins Program

Aug 15, 2022

The Power Tie-Ins Program is a new granting program delivered by Creative BC for Reel Green™’s Clean Energy Committee. The Committee is investing up to $2,500 in electric grid tie-in projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in high-volume filming areas. The tie-in projects will enable film crews to tie-in to electric power grids, thereby reducing the use of diesel-fueled generators on film sets.

For every single day that a production replaces a diesel-fueled generator with a power tie-in to clean electric energy, production will save approximately 350 litres of diesel fuel and reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 938.35 g CO2/Day.

The Clean Energy Fund is an envelope of $10,000 designated for FY2022/23 by the Reel Green™ Advisory Committee. The Power Tie-Ins Program is the first program to be delivered by the fund, which supports initiatives targeting reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in B.C.’s film industry through clean energy projects.

The Fund is new in FY2022/23 and is managed by Reel Green™ ’s Clean Energy Committee, which was formed to create resources and provide guidance for clean energy initiatives in the motion picture industry. Founded in 2020 under the banner of Reel Green™, the Committee supports the implementation of clean energy sources to reduce the motion picture industries
consumption of fossil fuels and enhance B.C.’s position as the greenest production center in the world.
