Orange have set up this recharging station at Glastonbury. Perfect for Noel Gallager to recharge his phone and ring his brother to tell him the Jay Z just mimed to Wonderwall in what was an obvious snub to the Oasis star’s criticism of Jay Z headlining the festival.

At over 7 meters in height, the free standing recharge Pod is a self sufficient unit that supports a wind generator and solar panels and can charge up to 100 mobile phones per hour. It is estimated that the Orange recharge pod will charge thousands of mobile phones over the course of the 3 day festival, and the energy generated by the Orange recharge pod to be the equivalent of powering a DJ booth for Groove Armada for a marathon 88 hour set (I think that’s Orange trying to put a value on the power genrated ‘in a way the youth will understand’).

Working with renewable energy experts Gotwind, the recharge Pod is an evolution of the Orange portable wind charger, tested at 2007’s Glastonbury Festival. The recharge Pod will act as a trial in using renewable energy sources on a larger scale, with a view to ultimately powering elements of the Chill n’ Charge tent at future Glastonbury Festivals.
