Pavegen’s greatest value lies in its ability to make energy generation fun, tangible, and engaging.
Our strength goes beyond generating clean electricity—many other technologies already achieve that at scale.
We focus on harnessing the untapped power of individuals and businesses, engaging, educating and empowering them to make positive changes that drive a better future for all.
Our CEO, Laurence Kemball-Cook, set out with a vision:
To generate clean, off-grid electricity — powered by footsteps.
While studying at Loughborough University, Laurence developed the concept during a placement with a European energy company focused on renewable street lighting.
With 75 million people passing through London Victoria Station each year, Laurence saw an opportunity to harness their kinetic energy.
After building over 750 prototypes, the first Pavegen tile was created in 2009.
Determined to prove his concept, Laurence installed a prototype on a construction site without permission. He captured photos and leveraged social media to showcase his invention.
The gamble paid off , securing investment to launch Pavegen to the world.
