In an unprecedented move, the Mill Valley Music Festival partners with Moxion to become the first U.S. festival powered entirely by zero-emission mobile battery units, marking a significant step towards sustainable live events.
A Pioneer in Renewable Energy for Live Events
Moxion Power, nestled in California and esteemed for its advancements in mobile battery energy storage technology, is reshaping how festivals approach environmental responsibility. As an MCE Deep Green Champion, the company is powered by purely renewable energy, ensuring all its operations and products carry a green thumbprint.
Goodbye Diesel, Hello Clean Energy
The festival, slated for May 11-12, is hosted by the Mill Valley Chamber of Commerce and Noise Pop Industries. With a priority on sustainability, the event will abandon thehum of diesel generators, embracing Moxion’s cutting-edge MP-75/600 mobile batteries. This technology isn’t only eco-friendly but has earned accolades as a TIME Best Invention of 2023, addressing climate change by preempting the emission of 4.5 tons of greenhouse gases.
A Concerted Effort for the Climate
Jim Welte, the Mill Valley Chamber’s executive director, highlighted the collaborative spirit prevailing in the community, with leaders and organizations uniting to mitigate climate change. The festival’s eco-conscious vision aligns with local strategies emphasizing emission reduction, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure.
Sustainable Solutions on Stage
Following a successful trial at last year’s festival, Moxion is poised to expand its involvement. Touting a reliable app-monitored power supply, Moxion will ensure a seamless festival experience while underscoring the potential for innovative sustainability in live events.
From Local Beginnings to Sustainable Inspirations
Moxion’s co-founder, Paul Heulskamp, celebrates this full-circle moment for the company that started in Mill Valley and now empowers the festival’s shift to sustainability. The hope is that Moxion’s green approach will spark an industry-wide embrace of eco-friendly practices.
Reminiscing about Moxion’s origins, Jim Welte recalls the casual coffee chat that laid the groundwork for this emissions-free festival. Michelle Swing, CEO of Noise Pop, and Festival Producer Stacy Horne, reinforced their commitment to sustainability, expressing excitement over the collaboration that promises a forward-thinking festival experience.
