Veolia Energy-Dalkia
The range of Veolia Energy-Dalkia's services is changing within a context marked by the increasing importance of renewable energy and energy and carbon saving targets.
Energy-Dalkia lies at the core of three main challenges, firstly the growing urbanization and the industrialization that accompanies it, secondly the price increase and the growing scarcity of fossil fuels and thirdly the climate change.
Performances
Veolia Energy-Dalkia is an integrator of energy solutions. Its business is to provide the energy necessary to its clients in an optimized manner, while reducing their final consumption and limiting the accompanying GHGs emissions.
This business consists of reducing global energy consumption while minimizing the proportion supplied by fossil energy.

Therefore, Veolia Energy-Dalkia adjusts several factors: namely, modifying the behavior of users, optimizing management of their needs, achieving modernization by making efficient use of technical equipment, and finally, using renewable energy whenever possible.
The combination of these factors will achieve improvements in energy efficiency so that, depending on the country, Veolia Energy-Dalkia can earn Energy Saving Certificates (ESC) or green certificates, and optimise management of CO2 quotas on the corresponding markets.

In this context, the company is taking steps to modify the structure of its contracts to base its remuneration on the energy saved, rather than on the energy consumed. It also attempts to define offers that incentivise the search for carbon efficiency.
This objective to "optimize" energy in cities is organised into four major activities.
Development of heating and cooling networks
Heating and cooling networks reduce the impact of heating and air conditioning on the environment.
They are powerful means of integrating renewable or alternative energy in cities, especially through the use of boilers using biomass or heat recovery from municipal waste and industrial waste incineration plants.
These facilities are governed by very severe emission standards and emissions of CO2 and other pollutants are lower than in a large number of individual facilities.
Integrated building management
Veolia Energy-Dalkia optimises energy use in all types of buildings,( homes, offices, hospitals, public facilities, shopping centers), with the prospect of a factor of 4 by the year 2020.
Solutions proposed to reduce consumptions and the emissions of GHG include boilers, heat pumps, ventilation, intelligent control systems, renewable energy and cogeneration.
As a global competitor, Veolia Energy-Dalkia guarantees results to its clients, through long-term contracts.
Optimization of energy consumptions on industrial sites
Veolia Energy-Dalkia partners its industrial clients in efforts to manage their energy bill and to reduce GHG emissions by working on all industrial utilities (steam, hot water, chilled water, compressed air, electricity, industrial gases).
As in buildings, its action are based on two services: namely the design of technical improvements leading to improved energy efficiency, and optimized operation of sites within the framework of performance contracts.
For example, Veolia Energy-Dalkia implements solutions integrating renewable energy or recovery of lost heat.
Public lighting
Public lighting, on average, accounts for almost half of the electrical consumption of city councils, and is also a source of GHG emissions.
Veolia Energy-Dalkia optimizes urban lighting by means of simple technological solutions (remote management of light points) through its subsidiary Citelum, and contributes to transforming a traditional town into a sustainable town (reduction of light pollution, reduction of electricity consumption, etc.).
Veolia Energy-Dalkia is developing complementary activities such as electrical facilities with Clemessy,and climatic engineering with Crystal.
