Full project management
Linked solutions

CLIMESPACE (ENGIE) operates the urban cooling network in Paris. Its 75 km of underground pipes make it the largest in Europe. The projected increase in the cold power demand on the network around the Place Charles de Gaulle requires CLIMESPACE to renovate and fiabilise the Etoile refrigeration plant.

Location Place Charles de Gaulle, Paris, France
Period 2018 - 2021

The installation of a 30 MWh ice storage system and a new 3 MW cooling unit combined with a 4 MW destorage system will increase the generating capacity of the power plant to 12 MW and thus meet the network's peak loads. This renovation offers also an opportunity to reduce the environmental impact of the plant by replacing the fluid refrigerant currently used with a fluid refrigerant with low global warming potential.
