Extension and creation of heating or cooling networks

The objective of this financial support is to help you mobilize more heat and/or cold from renewable energy and recovery (EnR&R) 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 heating 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 EnR&R production units using biomass, solar thermal, geothermal, methanization, waste heat recovery – from industrial processes, household waste incineration units (UIOM), etc. – and/or cogeneration.

ADEME's network aid focuses exclusively on the "distribution" function. It is conditional on the technical characteristics of the planned network implementation:

• additional production
  
• share of EnR&R
  
• energy density
