Your partner for sustainable and efficient district heating networks
Are you a local authority, a district heating network manager, or a design office? Do you want to decarbonize an existing district heating network, or are you planning to create one? Are you initiating a tender process or starting to think about decarbonizing your municipality?
At Newheat, we develop, design, build, operate and finance renewable and recovered heat production and storage plants tailored to your development strategy and the specific characteristics of your region. Whether you want to reduce your environmental impact, gain competitiveness, or assert your energy independence, we support your projects using a long-term partnership approach.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Why choose our solutions for your heating networks?
- Heat decarbonization still too often involves production solutions based on combustion, which are not optimized and not very resilient.
- While these solutions may prove attractive in the short term, they too often generate a dependence on external energy resources, the price volatility of which can have significant financial impacts for network subscribers over the duration of the concession.
- Many optimizations can be implemented. These include reducing or eliminating the use of combustion equipment in summer, continued use of local renewable energy sources through large-capacity thermal storage, and improving the flexibility and performance of network management.
- Different contractual arrangements can be implemented to preserve your investment capacity and guarantee you a reliable and efficient supply of heat over the long term.
TESTIMONIALS
Our customers say it better than we do
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.
Newheat's proposal to install solar thermal heat instead of gas was an undeniable advantage both in terms of costs and in terms of decarbonizing our energies

THE BENEFITS
The direct benefits of our heat supply solutions for your heating network
Greening of networks
Working closely with your heating network operator, we research and deploy innovative renewable heat production and storage solutions. These solutions complement existing sources such as biomass, renewable energy sources, and gas. The goal is to help you achieve an ambitious energy mix, with renewable energy and heat recovery rates as high as 90% or even 100%.
Investment capacity preserved
We cover all costs associated with the project through our third-party financing offer, from feasibility studies to the construction and operation of heat production and storage plants, by being paid for the sale of heat at the meter (you pay for what you consume).
Energy independence and stabilized thermal energy cost
We prioritize the most sustainable local energy resources, with minimal exposure to various inputs (biomass, electricity, gas, etc.), thus preserving your independence from resource availability, price fluctuations in energy markets, and carbon taxation. You benefit from a competitive and stable heat price over 20 to 30 years with a reduced energy bill from the first MWh consumed.
Optimizing the operation of your network
Our renewable energy production and low-temperature recovery solutions, combined with heat storage devices, offer significant flexibility to adapt production to demand, smooth out peaks, and recover surpluses. They thus significantly optimize its operation and provide great flexibility in its daily management.
OUR METHODOLOGY
We provide the entire assembly and management of the project
Opportunity Assessment
We assess your project’s potential based on the data you provide, then use our internal dynamic modeling tools to design one or more optimized solutions, incorporating the opportunities and constraints associated with your area. This preliminary design leads to an initial indicative technical and economic proposal.
Detailed studies
We guarantee you a perfectly sized energy solution that’s integrated into your heating network’s processes. During this stage, we ensure expected performance and reduce technical and operational risks to provide you with a compelling technical and economic offer through a heat sales contract or a turnkey contract.
Development and administrative authorizations
We carry out all the necessary procedures and studies to prepare authorization files and obtain permits. We secure the land required for the proposed solution, whether located on public or private land. We also ensure compliance with regulatory obligations specific to your country, such as the EU-ETS quota system and the RED and EED directives, to guarantee the compliance of our solution.
Funding and institutional aid
We finance the entire project and activate the available subsidies and support mechanisms when necessary to ensure the competitiveness of the offer.
Construction and commissioning
We select the construction companies and manage the execution of the project, guaranteeing deadlines, costs and the performance of the installation.
Operation and maintenance
We monitor the plant remotely 24/7, manage maintenance operations and optimize the plant’s production throughout its lifetime.
