The Eiffel Tower will be powered by renewable energies from January onwards
hace 11 year
From the 1st of next year, the most visited monument in the world will change its electricity supplier and the new one is committed to using clean energy for all its electricity consumption.
This contract allows the Eiffel Tower to have the guarantee that “the volume of electricity consumed will be entirely produced and injected into the French grid from a renewable and clean source,” the management company said in a statement.
GEG, which replaces Germany's E.ON as the tower supplier, will also be responsible for advising the company on energy efficiency during the two-year contract period.
In recent months, the Eiffel Tower has undertaken renovations on its second floor that have enabled it to reduce energy consumption by insulating its pavilions, installing solar panels for hot water and recovering rainwater.
Last year, nearly 7 million people visited the 324-meter-high monument, which was erected for the 1889 World's Fair and currently consumes 6.7 GWh for air conditioning, heating, elevators and lighting.
