The river doesn’t care whether the heat comes from electrical resistance, chemical reaction or the inside of a building. Heat is heat. How that amount of heat will affect the ecology of the river I do not know. I am unfamiliar how how the cooling capacity of the proposed system relates to the hydrology of Paris.
