Energy TransitionCoRDEES - Co-Responsibility in District Energy Efficiency & Sustainability
"Smart grids at the local level are central to build a zero carbon city. With the CORDEES project, we experiment smart grids solutions and effective governance to reach ambitious energy performance targets. We hope the Clichy-Batignolles eco-district will act as a model for other cities"
83 % of heat requirement is provided by geothermal energy in Clichy Batignolles.
The Metropolis of Greater Paris is expected, by 2030, to have over 11 million inhabitants and raise overall energy consumption by 30%.
Paris is at the center of this Metropolis and is facing high urban density, traffic congestion and both an energy and a climate crisis.
Numerous cities are facing the same challenge and need efficient solutions to address the context of fast growing urbanization.
Since 2015, Paris has implemented 2 ambitious plans: The Energy and Climate Plan and a Smart and Sustainable City Action Plan. The plans involve not only the municipality, but also industrial partners, SMEs, research centers, NGOs, citizens and users.
The Municipality is experienced and equipped to create synergy among these actors to achieve common energy efficiency goals.
CORDEES aims to achieve a breakthrough by creating a new energy ecosystem at Clichy Batignolles, a 54 hectare eco-district under construction.
CORDEES proposes to combine three main solutions in an integrated approach. The aim is to reach the energy efficiency objective: 50 kW/h per square meter and 90 % less CO2 emissions.
We acknowledge that projects can fail from lack of measurable commitments, from an approach that is too technological driven and from technical difficulties inherent to managing energy in large scale projects.
Bearing this in mind, we are going to first set up a new multiplayer energy governance which we call, The Urban Energy New Deal.
This new deal will define on a collective basis the energy commitments and the contractual/financial /regulatory conditions necessary to its successful implementation.
Second, we intend to deploy a monitoring platform that is both interoperable and multi-user. We call this The Community Energy Management Platform. Energy data from buildings (electricity and heat) and public facilities (electric vehicle stations, street lighting and automated waste collection) will be analysed and consolidated in real time. The goal is to define optimization scenarios.
And finally, we will test out new services to empower stakeholders and target groups to achieve energy efficiency goals. The Urban Sustainability Trustee Facilitator, a new actor, will bring together all these solutions. The facilitator will provide technical recommendations, ensure stakeholder cooperation, end user empowerment and coordinate the creation and implementation of services.
