Faced with the energy crisis, France Chaleur Urbaine presents an economical and ecological solution for all French households

The State has announced it, a general mobilization is requested to allow the energy transition on French soil. On October 6, 2022, the State insisted in a press release on its desire to act quickly and effectively against this unprecedented crisis.

For Elisabeth Borne, Prime Minister: “We are living in a period of changeovers. The war in Ukraine is upsetting the international order and we have not finished measuring the consequences. The energy crisis is prompting us to review our habits and to accelerate in order to get out of dependence on carbon energies more quickly. »

France Chaleur Urbaine contributes to this objective by facilitating the connection of buildings to heating networks. Powered by renewable or recovered energy sources such as geothermal energy, biomass or heat from waste incineration, heating networks offer a heating method that is both ecological and economical. Connection to heating networks is particularly suitable for buildings currently heated by gas or collective fuel oil, and represents an excellent option for getting out of fossil fuels.

Most French cities have this possibility of connection. Entirely financed by the State, France Chaleur Urbaine acts as a trusted third party between co-owners or actors in the tertiary sector wishing to adopt this method of heating, and the managers of heating networks able to offer this connection.

Today, 2,4 million housing equivalents are already connected and approximately 5,6 million tonnes of CO2 are avoided each year through the use of these heating networks.

The connection to heating networks, highlighted in the government's energy sobriety plan, is supported by significant financial aid, under the new heating boost for collective residential and tertiary buildings. The remaining average charge for the connection of a condominium is estimated at €250 per dwelling only! The cost of heat is also competitive, with a reduced VAT rate of 5,5% (the lowest on the market), and more stable prices than those of fossil fuels.

Connecting to a heating network means reducing greenhouse gas emissions and controlling your heating budget, which today is exploding all records.
