Case Study: Brest achieves greater heating flexibility and energy savings with Dalkia thermal storage

Brest stores heat in a 1,000 m3 tower with Dalkia

The customer, Brest, needed a way to manage peak energy demand and better utilize the heat produced by its waste-to-energy plant. Dalkia provided a thermal energy storage solution to address this challenge.

Dalkia implemented a system featuring a 1,000 m3 storage tower that retains hot water from the plant. This solution decouples energy production from consumption, allowing the stored heat to be released during morning peak periods. The results include immediate heat availability for the network, greater operational flexibility, significant energy savings, and an overall reduction in the carbon footprint.
