Summary
Rennes Métropole has signed a thirteen-year concession agreement with ENGIE Solutions to develop and operate an urban district heating network in the southern part of the city, powered exclusively by renewable and recovered energy sources. The project will extend the existing network to 78 kilometres, with 32 kilometres to be newly built. The total investment amounts to EUR156mn ($167mn), with a planned capacity equivalent to 47,000 connected households.
Two new biomass heating plants will be built by 2028: a 23-megawatt facility in Blosne, including a 3,000 m³ hydrostorage tank, and a 21-megawatt plant in Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande. These will complement existing installations, ensuring supply during peak demand and maintaining independence from fossil fuel markets.
