Electricity, my neighbours and me

Join La Pile for new electric practices! - CALENDAR

⚡️⚡️⚡️

Producing electricity, distributing it among neighbours, testing storage, investing collectively, discussing practices together, experimenting with new ideas... we are giving it a try in the Midi neighbourhood.

The first challenge for 2020 is to build a giant, mechanical battery made by the locals, without using scarce resources.

Other projects will be imagined throughout visits to Expo La Pile and the Rencontres Electriques.

EXPO LA PILE feeds our projects by going back up the path from the power socket to the energy sources and showcasing the work of 14 pioneers.

A "RENCONTRE ELECTRIQUE" PROGRAM allows people to meet, test ideas and get inspired by projects from elsewhere,...
