According to an article of the Le Monde Ecologie Blog, Toulouse is the first place to sport pavement that can capture energy from the people walking over these stones. 50-60 W of electricity are produced, enough to light a LED streetlamp. The technology is developed by a Dutch company, Sustainable Dance Club Producing dance floors capturing the energy of dancing that is then used to animate the lights in the dance floor in an interactive way. This novelty can be admired near Place Capitole and Hotel Le Grand Balcon in rue du Lieutenant-Colonel Pelissier. And this is just a start as the Town Hall officials see more applications of this technology for the Pink City.
