Idex invests €70M to harness geothermal energy and data centre waste heat, providing Levallois with local, clean energy at a stable and controlled price
In the face of today's energy challenges, the City of Levallois and Idex, a major player in local low-carbon energy, announce the launch of an unprecedented project to transform the urban district heating network. Driven by the City's ambition to accelerate its energy transition and led by Idex, this innovative project combines environmental ambition with direct economic benefits for the residents of Levallois.
By harnessing the synergy between deep geothermal energy and the recovery of waste heat from Global Switch's data centre, this pioneering initiative will enable Levallois to benefit, as early as 2029, from local, low-carbon, competitive and secure energy.
A virtuous model of circular economy and energy autonomy
The result of the longstanding partnership between the City of Levallois and Idex, this project embodies a resilient local energy model built on two complementary local resources:
Together, these two sources will supply the city's Kalita district heating network with over 120 GWh per year, raising the share of renewable and recovered energy to more than 75% — an unprecedented rate for such a densely populated urban area.
Immediate benefits for residents and public finances
Beyond its environmental impact, the project delivers tangible economic benefits for district heating subscribers:
