A fluid dispensing system comprises a first pipe, a second pipe and a thermoelectric generator. The first pipe is configured to carry fluid to the fluid dispensing system. The second pipe is configured to carry fluid to the fluid dispensing system. Temperature of the fluid carried by the first pipe is higher than temperature of the fluid carried by the second pipe. The thermoelectric generator comprises a first side and a second side. The first side of the thermoelectric generator is in thermal contact with the first pipe. The second side of the thermoelectric generator is in thermal contact with the second pipe. Temperature gradient is established between the first side and the second side due to difference in temperature in the first pipe and the second pipe. Electric current is generated by the thermoelectric generator as a result of the temperature gradient.
