Just like other cities around the world, Paris is also stepping forward and is looking for alternative sources of energy for its growing demand. The city is looking at its river, the Seine. Paris is planning to install eight turbines under the city bridges in an attempt to raise energy from the currents of the river.

The Pont du Garigliano, Pont de la Tournelle, Pont Marie and Pont au Change (all bridges) will each have two turbines installed at their base. In these locations the speed of the current accelerates giving it the most energy from the current. The turbines are expected to be installed next year.
