“Grenoble Alpes Métropole’s Réseaux Energétiques department is responsible for public energy distribution in an area with a population of 450,000, spread over 49 municipalities. As such, the department is responsible for heating networks, with small-scale networks managed by the Régie and public service delegations for the largest networks, including the second largest in France in terms of size and energy delivered. To consolidate our technical base, we recently completed a training course run by DistrictLab. In a compact two-day format, alternating theoretical presentations and practical work on a simulator, this training course provides an overview of the technical issues involved in the field, whether at the stage of choosing the means of production, sizing the network or operating it. Thanks to Roland and DistrictLab for the quality of this training, which will enable us to be more relevant, whether in discussions with design offices or operators, or in the development of new networks.”
