Summary
The municipality of Meudon in France is targeting the supply of geothermal heating to 15,000 residents in the district of Meudon-la-Forêt by 2026. To achieve this, the municipality has partnered with Engie Solutions to create GeoMeudon.
The municipality of Meudon and Engie will be the shareholders in GeoMeudon, the company that will be building and operating the planned geothermal plant. The use of geothermal energy, combined with a heat pump, will results in a reduction of 17,700 tonnes of CO2 each year and can supply 83% of the district’s heating needs. The transition will also require an investment of EUR 36.8 million.
The heat transition in Meudon will start with the dismantling of the gas boiler which should start in 2023. This will coincide with the construction of a new auxiliary gas boiler room and deep drilling of geothermal wells. The Meudon-la-Forêt boiler room currently supplies gas to 7600 homes via an 8-kilometer network.
