Summary
The NARBOSOL solar thermal plant is one of the largest in France connected to a district heating network. By harnessing solar energy, it provides heating and domestic hot water to more than 900 homes, seven schools, a middle school, and several public buildings in the city of Narbonne.
Date of commissioning
September 2021
Solar peak power
2.7 MWth
The benefits of the solar thermal plant built by Newheat are numerous: a reduction in the carbon footprint, a significant reduction in energy bills for users, and energy independence that is quickly established thanks to this project.
