Gecina, a leading French real estate group, is announcing that it has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Accenta and Idex, the benchmark operator on the local low-carbon energy market, to decarbonize the Les Cèdres residence in Ville d’Avray (92). 

This project involves installing a borehole thermal energy storage solution combined with heat pumps, the first initiative on such a scale in France. 

The aim is to significantly reduce this residential complex’s CO2 emissions and ensure better control over costs, thanks to reduced dependence on gas.

This partnership is the first of its kind in France due to the scale of the project and the complexity of the work, carried out at a site that is already occupied. It also reflects the stronger collaboration developed between Gecina and Idex, who were already partners on
an initiative to connect a Gecina residence to the ZAC Seguin-Rives heating network in Boulogne-Billancourt.
