Power Solutions

Here is how this works in practice. We source production power options from the rental houses concentrated in Warsaw and in Łódź, where electrical inventory has grown since the Polish Film Institute introduced its 30% PISF cash rebates in 2019. Our team assesses each production's load and designs the right way: super-silent power packs for dialogue-heavy scenes, high-capacity units up to 500kW for large lighting setups, battery and hybrid systems for remote or sound-sensitive work, and V-mount and gold-mount battery packages for cameras and extras.

Here is the short of it. We set up power packs delivery, fuelling, distribution and tech support across the shoot, and arrange building tie-ins with licensed Polish electricians where studio or location infrastructure allows. Poland's mains run at the EU-standard 230V/50Hz, which we build into each plan. Because hire from Polish vendors counts as qualifying spend toward the 30% rebates, sourcing power locally keeps the budget efficient. Any pro power kit not held in-country moves freely by road from Germany or the Czech Republic, since Poland is in the EU single market and Schengen with no carnet for intra-EU transport.

Here is the breakdown. Powering remote locations is a core part of our work in Poland, from exteriors in the Tatra Mountains to coastal shoots around Gdańsk on the Baltic, where we plan power packs delivery, fuel supply and multi-day operation for sets without convenient grid access. Poland's temperate continental climate shapes power logistics: cold, snowy winters affect power packs starting and fuel handling, and our crews manage cold-weather operation and protect battery systems whose capacity drops at low temperatures.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. At heritage locations — the reconstructed Old Town of Warsaw, the preserved core of Kraków — we set up quiet, low-impact power that respects venue and preservation needs. Productions arriving from outside the EU clear imported power hardware on ATA Carnets through the National Revenue Administration (Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa), with Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) as the main air-cargo gateway. Billing is in Polish złoty (PLN) — Poland is an EU member but not in the Eurozone — and gear hire carries 23% VAT.
