In this new episode of the On The Way podcast, Jessica Mercuriali, co-founder of Pawa Energy, looks back on his career and shares his vision of a cleaner energy for events.

Did you know that today in France, more than 90% of temporary events still rely on thermal generators?

After fifteen years in marketing and business, including ten at Microsoft between France and Seattle, Jessica decided at the end of 2023 to leave everything. In 2024, she founded Pawa Energy with her brother, a former chief operator.

Their idea is to offer an alternative for rental: eco-friendly batteries, zero emissions, zero noise, zero odor. A solution designed to replace conventional generators for temporary events.

The flagship product, the Pawa Battery, delivers 36 kW of power and 100 kWh of energy in a compact pallet format. And most importantly, with a carbon impact up to 80 times lower than an equivalent generator.

The battery is based on LFP (lithium, iron, phosphate) technology, nickel and cobalt-free, manufactured in France with two industrial partners: Olenergie in Bagnolet and Mute Energy in Tourcoing. Mute energy even gives a second life to electric vehicle batteries to design the Pawa Mini, a more compact format.

In this episode, Jessica looks back at the first customers from the events and sports sectors (Boulogne half-marathon, festivals, food trucks), the cultural obstacles encountered in the field, and the lack of "premium green".

In fact, switching to a cleaner alternative does not cost more than a conventional generator. And that changes everything.
