FOCUS EMERGING DH MARKETS

District heating and cooling in France are going through a fine development, however, it is important to continue the effort and strengthen a multi-scale and multi-energy approach in order to ensure that district heating will have good interaction with electricity and gas networks. For the moment, there are in France 669 district heating networks representing 5,015 km, supplying 24,643 GWh of net thermal energy (2016). The French district heating sector is expected to grow in the near future given the ambitious target set in the 2015 Energy Transition Law and the multi-annual energy plan. Compared to 2012, district heating and cooling from renewable and recovered energy sources are assumed to increase by a five-fold by 2030.
