What if the biggest shift in live events isn’t visible on stage, but happening behind the scenes?
Showpower’s Paul Schurink is rethinking how live events are powered from the ground up.
For decades, temporary power has been treated as a last-minute logistical decision — oversized systems, diesel dependency, and inefficiencies built in by default.
Paul is challenging that model.
His approach is simple but transformative:
👉 Start with real energy needs
👉 Design smarter systems
👉 Reduce waste before changing the source
The result?
Major international shows cutting installed capacity by over 60%, and in some cases, eliminating generators entirely.
In this conversation, Paul shares:
• Why energy efficiency is the most overlooked lever in sustainability
• Why small, informed decisions matter more than big gestures
• How better energy design can reduce both emissions and cost
And why the future of live events might sound quieter, in the best possible way. Read the full interview below.
