Summary

This webinar, part of a series on renewable heating and cooling for local authorities, focuses on governance and tools. It begins with an introduction to the importance of district heating and cooling networks for decarbonization and energy sovereignty. The first presentation by CEREMA experts covers the identification of opportunities using the EN_RED tool, which maps building energy needs, existing networks, and renewable energy sources. The second part discusses the different modes of management (régie, concession, etc.) and the importance of feasibility studies. Two case studies are presented: Nantes Métropole and Grand Poitiers, sharing their experiences with concession and régie management. The webinar concludes with a discussion on energy mix selection and tools for planning. The content is practical, aimed at local authorities, and provides actionable insights.
