Thermal & Electrical Generation

Utilising Renewable Energy to Achieve a Greener Infrastructure for Your Business

Adopting renewable energy sources for electric and thermal generation is crucial in achieving decarbonisation. Renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional fossil fuel-based energy and will play an essential role in achieving Net Zero carbon targets.

How is Electricity Generated?

Veolia can help you harness renewable energy generation and storage by installing microgrid and embedded networks within your site, utilising gas engines, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and battery storage. We also provide sustainable solutions for thermal generation such as hot water, steam, and district heating systems, as well as chilled water and district cooling systems.

Heating and Cooling Networks

Veolia designs, builds, operates, and maintains district energy systems that provide efficient and reliable heating and cooling solutions. These systems typically involve the use of centralised energy plants or facilities that generate hot water, steam, or chilled water, which is then distributed through a network of underground insulated pipes to the connected buildings.

Embedded Networks

Veolia takes a pragmatic, collaborative approach that includes an energy on-selling process, using embedded networks as a single contractual platform.

Combined Heat & Power (CHP)

Using advanced technology called cogeneration, Veolia can help you harness the heat that is emitted as an operational byproduct and convert it into electricity which reduces your site’s need for primary energy.

Heat Recovery Solutions

We work to ensure that resources are recovered and used to their fullest potential on your site to maximise energy efficiency. Residual heat resulting from operations can be captured and distributed within your site and surrounding network, reducing the need for heat production derived from fossil fuels.
