Orange has announced they are launching a freestanding wind powered mobile phone charging station which will be put at this year’s Glastonbury Festival. The wind powered mobile charging station is over seven metres in height, and is a freestanding “recharge pod” which is a self sufficient unit supported by a wind generator and solar panels, and will have the ability to charge up to one hundred mobile phones every hour.
Orange mobile worked with Gotwind, a renewable energy company to make the recharge pod an evolution of the Orange portable wind charger tested at the Glastonbury Festival 2007. This recharge pod will be found within the Pennard Hill camping ground at Glastonbury, and is to be a free service which allows all festival goers to make use and charge their mobile handsets throughout the festival weekend.
