About us
Created in 2015 by two entrepreneurs with complementary skills, Newheat relies on a multidisciplinary team and experienced managers to become one of the major players in the production of renewable thermal energy.
Sustainable, local and competitive heat production
Heat is the first primary form of energy consumed in the World; it represents around 47% of the total. Today, 80% of this heat energy depends on fossil fuels.
The use of renewable energies as an alternative to fossil fuels is a priority focus for reducing CO2 emissions. Efficient energy savings combined with solar energy – an inexhaustible, competitive, and local resource – provide a lasting response to the sustainability of human activities.

Independent producer of solar heat and waste heat recovery
We offer two kinds of complete solutions to meet the expectations of each client
-
Solar heat « at the meter »
Bearing the full costs of studies, implementation, and operation (third-party investment).
-
« Turnkey » EPC installation
Combined with a full maintenance and servicing solution over time with guaranteed performance.
Modelling, engineering, and piloting
-
Modelling
The precise modelling of our systems and their interaction with our clients’ processes and networks allows us to provide a suitable design and optimized operation.
-
Design engineering
Our projects require extensive mastery of various technical skills: solar, hydraulic, thermal and automation engineering. These skills allow us to select the most suitable technologies for the operation of our clients' heat processes and networks, and for optimizing their design and set-up.
-
Control & command system
We define and implement a dedicated and optimized management solution for each project, making our plants' equipment efficient and reliable, in coordination with our clients' equipment.

Multidisciplinary team and experienced managers
Hugues started his career in 2007 within the Direct Energie group, before participating in 2008 in creating Neoen for which he became head of the solar and wind power departments. After contributing to the development of the first independent renewable power producer in France (500 MW achieved), he decided to create Newheat with Pierre. He graduated from the École Polytechnique and the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées.
Pierre started his career in 2011 within Rackam, the concentrated solar thermal technology supplier. He then became a developer of Spanish thermal solar projects partner. In 2014, he joined the Exosun company to develop products for the solar thermal market before creating Newheat with Hugues. Since 2013, Pierre contributes to the work of international expert groups of the AIE and AFNOR. He graduated from the University of Technology of Compiègne.
Emmanuelle started her career with the audit and consulting firm EY where for 6 years she carried out auditing and consulting assignments in France and abroad (Canada).

In 2003, he joined the engineering firm SNC-Lavalin, which became EDEIS in 2011, where he became COO for France and then Regional Director for the Greater South West of France. Stéphane joined Newheat in the summer of 2021 as COO, and thus supervises the engineering, production and operations teams. He graduated from INSA Strasbourg.
Thibault started his career within the Veolia Environmental Services and Paris Airport group before joining the Engie group in 2013, where he developed thermal energy production projects and energy efficiency programs, in Brazil and then in France. Thibault joined Newheat in 2018 as the Head of Development in France. Thibault graduated from the Ecole Centrale Nantes and the polytechnic University of Catalonia. He holds a master’s degree from minesParis Tech.
Alexandre began his career at Engie, where for 10 years he developed projects linked to the energy transition (urban heat networks, high-temperature geothermal energy, etc.) in France and abroad (Indonesia, Algeria, etc.). In 2019 he joined Tilia, an energy transition consultancy for local authorities and public institutions. He joins Newheat in 2022 as Urban Heat Networks Development Manager, and manages the team of project managers. Alexandre is a graduate of ENS Mines de Nancy and holds a Master of Science in Geosciences from IFP-School (France) and Texas A&M University (USA).
