This power station, built on a former polluted site, is also symbolic by its aesthetic.
It was indeed the subject of a Land Art design under the leadership of the Toulouse visual artist, Damien Aspe.
Seen from the sky, when the users of the future cable car fly over it as well as the passengers of the planes, they will be able to see a pixelation thanks to the presence of colored panels inserted between the photovoltaic modules.
