Telford & Wrekin Council, GB adds kinetic pavement between Telford's town centre and train station

Telford & Wrekin Council, GB Kinetic Pavement Train Station

Complete

Pavegen installed tiles made from stainless steel and rubber under a six-meter stretch of pavement. The tiles connect to a generator that converts each step into a maximum of 5 joules of energy. Every footstep produces zero-emission electricity for two free mobile device chargers. A digital display along the Silver Swallow footbridge shows the amount of energy produced by the pavement. This project provides a convenient and sustainable charging solution for Telford commuters.
