Powering the Arts: Secure Power’s UPS Upgrade for the Royal Shakespeare Company
The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) is one of the world’s most celebrated theatre organisations, renowned for bringing Shakespeare’s works to life. With complex stage lighting, high-end AV systems, and extensive IT infrastructure at the heart of their productions, ensuring a reliable power supply is essential to prevent performance disruptions and protect critical equipment.
To safeguard against power outages and voltage fluctuations, the RSC partnered with Secure Power to implement a robust UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) solution. This solution ensures seamless performances, protects essential technology, and future-proofs the venue’s power infrastructure.

- Operational Disruption – Unplanned downtime could lead to cancellations, impacting audience experience and ticket revenue.
- Complex Site Requirements – Different theatre areas had varying power demands, requiring a custom-engineered solution.
The RSC needed a scalable, robust, and seamlessly integrated UPS solution to ensure smooth operations and protect critical infrastructure.
