This week on The Tie-In, Mark and Zena catch up with returning guest Kerri Coombs, former gaffer, longtime energy consultant, and now tool designer at the GreenShot, about GridPro, the free power-planning app she built to replace generator guesswork with real data.

Kerri breaks down why productions keep running massive diesel generators at a fraction of their actual load, how GridPro lets crews drag and drop their equipment onto a map to instantly see energy consumption, emissions, and fuel costs, and what happens when sustainability planning becomes a shared, real-time picture instead of an after-the-fact report card.

We get into the friction points that keep clean energy technology sitting on trucks unused, how data-sharing is finally breaking down old industry walls, and a live walkthrough of the app itself — including a real grid tie-in at Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

Perfect for gaffers, electricians, production coordinators, sustainability coordinators, UPMs, and anyone responsible for power planning on a film, TV, or live event production.

Topics: diesel generator alternatives, battery-powered film production, power planning software, energy consumption modeling, base camp power, clean-energy entertainment, sustainable film production, hybrid generator systems, solar trailer modeling, film crew tools.
