Reel Green™ Fuel Budget Comparator

Use this tool to compare your fuel spend between three scenarios: diesel generators, grid tie-ins, or batteries.

Productions can save up to 50% on film permitting fees when diesel generator alternatives are deployed on set.

More information about municipal clean energy incentives is available here: City of Vancouver, Metro Vancouver, Maple Ridge, and City of Surrey.
