Be supported in investing in your heat or cold networks, powered by renewable and/or recovery energies

The objective of this financial support is to help you mobilize more heat and/or cold from renewable and recovery energy production.

The amount of your aid is calculated based on an economic analysis or on a flat-rate aid. This depends on the power of the installation to which your network is, or will be, connected.

Some criteria must be met to benefit from the aid:

• Your network provides public heat distribution services (the community is the organizing authority).
  
• Your heat network exists in the fiscal sense, with at least two clients distinct from the project owner.
  
• Your technical network distributes only heat.

Projects must be connected to physical renewable and recovery energy production units using biomass, solar thermal, geothermal, methanization, waste heat recovery (from industrial processes, household waste incineration units, etc.) and/or cogeneration.

ADEME's network aid applies exclusively to the "distribution" function.

It is conditional on the technical characteristics of the planned network implementation:

• additional production
  
• share of renewable and recovery energy
  
• energy density…
