Engie Solutions has announced that it has selected Lacroix for the development and modernization of Chalon-sur-Saône's district heating network, to supply smart, connected solutions that will initially equip 250 substations.

Announced last November, the 10-year agreement between Chalon-sur-Saône and Engie Solutions will see the cessation of gas cogeneration coupled with a low-temperature switchover of the network, thanks to the modernization of production facilities.

The Chalon Energie heating network will also be renewed and extended, for a total of 11 km and serving 3,000 housing equivalents.

With an investment of 25 million euros by Engie Solutions, this development will be based on better use of local renewable resources, including wood energy. The aim is to reduce the region's gas consumption by over 15%, thereby avoiding the emission of almost 30,000 tonnes of CO2each year.
