Preheating the pool’s replacement water

The Forez-Est inter-municipal community chose an economical system to preheat the water in its pool:

  • It covers up to 100% of requirements in summer (without requiring storage)
  • It is avoiding 3.7 tCO2eq of emissions a year

A few key figures

Needs:

  • 16.5 MWh a year of energy

 
Installation:

  • Power Road® area: 750 sq. metres
  • Direct use (no storage)
  • Heat exchanger: 85 kW

Praise for Power Road®

“I am very proud that my town was the first in France to replace part of the fossil fuel it used with clean energy to heat its pool. This is a considerable step forward and part of our ongoing sustainability journey.”

Jean-Pierre Taite, Mayor of Feurs

 

The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region covered 20% of the cost under its local innovation and experiment program.
