The four potential sites are located to the west of the city at the Pont du Garigliano, and in central Paris, at the Pont de la Tournelle, Pont Marie and Pont au Change. Two turbines will be placed at each location.
“We’re not expecting the moon and the stars with these techniques,” Denis Baupin, the deputy mayor, told Le Parisien newspaper. “But the educational impact of these experiments is just as important. Vélib [Paris's free bicycle scheme] has made Parisians realise they can use cycles in the city, and these renewable energy schemes will make them aware of the need to watch what they consume.”
The deadline to submit proposals is this fall. The city will select a proposal next January, and construction should begin next spring.
