Due to an initiative from the Plaine Commune, a local energy
and climate agency was created as an incentivizing and
regional stakeholders assessment tool that informs and advises
participating project individuals and businesses; offers
advice and shares experiences with selected audiences, supports
activities that respond to specific territorial and resident
needs, and functions as a stakeholder-resource center.
Participating Organizations: Región de Ile-de-France, Seine-
Saint-Denis General Council, ADEME, the city of Saint-
Ouen, EDF, GDF Suez, Hábitat d’Aubervilliers public office,
Plaine Commune Développement, Plaine Commune Habitat,
Véolia environnement, Bouygues Immobilier
Plaine Commune joined a Región de Île-de-France initiative
to create the POSIT’IF Energy Organization, a financing tool
for energy savings projects involved in public building, social
and private housing greenspace renovations and renewable
energy project development (solar, wind, geothermic, biomass,
etc.).
Participating Organizations: Ile-de-France region, the cities of
Paris and Créteil, the Val-de-Marne and Seine-et-Marne
general councils, Sigeif, Sipperec, Siesm 77, Est Ensemble
cluster communities, Cergy Pontoise, Plateau de Saclay, Val
de Bièvre, Saint-Quentin en Yvelines, Sud de Seine, and regional
financial institutions.
Lighting equipment was replaced with equipment that consumes
less energy (40% elimination of high-energy-consumption
fluorescent bulbs and LED traffic lights), resulting
in a 2% annual energy-use reduction.
