Summary
The City of Versailles in France has signed a contract with Engie for the existing heating network to be transitioned partially to geothermal heating.
The City of Versailles in the Yvelines Department in France has signed a contract with Engie for a 32-year concession that seeks to transform and modernize the local district heating network. The project will involve the drilling of a geothermal doublet which will supply 69% of the network’s heating requirements by 203o.
The contract between the two parties was signed by Versailles Mayor François de Mazières and Engie Managing Director Franck Lacroix. The project will be managed and operated by Engie through local subsidiary Verseo Geo.
“This is a strategic project for our city. It will be one of the major issues in the coming years, with large-scale construction projects, the development of the network in the city center, its extension onto the Satory plateau, as well as a complete modernization of existing facilities. This reinforces our sustainable city policy, which has been in place for many years in a historic city with a remarkable heritage. Geothermal energy is the discreet and permanent energy source that needed to be developed ,” said Mazières.
