Résultats obtenus
Project in the project management phase, schedule respected since the start of the mission.
The implementation of a biomass boiler room and a district heating network with heat energy sales requires in-depth expertise, both technically (boiler technologies, filtration, wood storage, deployment of networks in public spaces…) and legally (regulations, choice of network management mode, drafting of heat sales contracts for future users…).
Calling on a consulting firm qualified as RGE Biomass is a major asset to ensure the success of such a project and to manage the technical, financial, and time-related challenges.
