FACILITATE AND SUPPORT

THE REGIONS’ ZERO-CARBON TRANSITION

The regions are particularly active in decarbonization. They are working to recycle their local energy

resources in a circular economy approach. This strategy allows them to develop networks, create jobs

and expand local companies.

CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT

OF THE REGIONS

In order to meet its Net Zero Carbon

goal by 2045, ENGIE has placed the

development of renewable energy

at the heart of its strategic vision.

As the leading producer of wind and

solar electricity in France, ENGIE is

also betting on the strong growth

potential of biomethane – related to

the local production of biomass – and

green hydrogen, both of which can be

produced and stored near the location

where they are consumed. These new

energies require dedicated networks

that play a significant role in the local

economy bringing a high volume of

local job creation, growth investments

and contributing to the development

of VSE-SMEs. As a result, they encourage

the dynamic growth of the communities

which host these networks.

According to the France Énergie Éolienne

(Wind Power) association, the number

of direct and indirect jobs tied to wind

power sites grew by 26.8% between

2016 and 2019. Biomethane ensures

the long-term viability of the agricultural

operators thanks to the transformation

of their waste products while creating

jobs locally. Thus, each methanization

unit is accompanied, on average, by

the creation of three to four direct

jobs associated with its operation

and maintenance which cannot be

relocated

Green hydrogen is also an accelerator of

local economic development For each

project ENGIE seeks to set up genuine

industrial ecosystems by establishing

partnerships with local players so

that the production platforms serve

the industrial sites in the region

ACCELERATE THE ENERGY

TRANSITION OF THE REGIONS

AND THEIR STAKEHOLDERS

To meet the needs for decarbonized

energy of the regions and their

stakeholders ENGIE offers a particularly

attractive solution with geothermal energy

This technique produces energy for

different usages: heating, air conditioning,

production of Energy Consulting

Services (ECS), in order to supply

heating and cooling networks,

eco-quarters or buildings. Available 24/7,

regardless of the weather and seasonal

conditions, and with no heat discharge

into the atmosphere, geothermal

energy is a local, decarbonized and

inexhaustible local energy. ENGIE relies

on its expertise center to successfully

complete its geothermal energy

projects in partnership with local

public authorities.

• At Meudon:

In October 2022, ENGIE Solutions

and the city of Meudon launched

GéoMeudon, the company that will

provide heat to the city network using

deep geothermal energy. The city

will benefit from 83% renewable

heating and prevent the emission

of 17,700 tCO

2

 / year.

• At Chesnay-Rocquencourt:

ENGIE Solutions, the Parly 2 shopping

center, the city of Le Chesnay-

Rocquencourt and the Yvelines

department are accelerating

decarbonization of the region with

the Géomy geothermal project.

The new plant will provide hot

water and heat, 75% of which will

be produced from renewable energy

to the equivalent of 9000homes

and will be in operation for the 2025

heating season

At Plaine Commune

In June 2022 ENGIE Solutions

announced with SOLIDEO

Société de

Livraison des Ouvrages Olympiques

Olympic Works Delivery Company the

construction of the surface geothermal

plants in the Pleyel district fed by

three production sinks Beginning in

2024 they will provide heating and

cooling through the Plaine Commune

Énergie network to 600000m

2

of strategic buildings including the

Village des Athlètes the Tour Pleyel

and the ZAC Pleyel. The project will

produce 68% renewable energy with

24.4 MW heating and 14.2 MW cooling

power subscribed.

• At La Garenne-Colombes,

on the ENGIE Campus:

In December 2021, ENGIE Solutions

obtained the construction and operation

of the heating / cooling network

on the future ENGIE campus in

La Garenne-Colombes. A particularly

ambitious project in terms of

sustainable development which will

concentrate a number of technological

innovations within a 100% renewable

energy hub: surface ATES geothermal

energy systems, boilers supplied

with green gas, cooling and

thermo-cooling-pump generators

supplied with electricity produced by

photovoltaic panels, smart electricity

storage and network.

• At Vélizy-Villacoublay:

In December 2021, the Île-de-France

region and ENGIE Solutions officially

commissioned the 16 MW deep

geothermal energy plant at

Vélizy-Villacoublay, which supplies

12,000 homes with heating and hot

water, most of which is sourced from

renewable energy. The project benefits

from the multi-drain drilling technology

known as Solar Impulse. The network

receives decarbonized energy at

60 renewable energy and prevents

the emission of 22801tCO

year

The commitments

made in connection

with the TED label

will in time become

the benchmark for

the development and

operation of ENGIEs

renewable facilities

around the world
