The city wants to support renewable energy resources and to develop a related economy in the territory.
From 2002 until 2006 the city followed the installation of about 1500m² thermal receptors (13 on public buildings representing 1200 m² and 36 on private buildings and joint ownerships representing 300 m²). With these results Chambéry takes the first place for renewable energy between the cities with 50 000 citizens and more. The city pays 20€ per ton of CO2 emission avoided, thus 60 € per m² of installed receptors for every achieved private installation. The photovoltaic solar was not included in the city's solar energy plan. But now they have foreseen to enlarge the policy they are leading on thermal solar onto photovoltic solar. Thus, it has been proposed to give a financial support of 1.5 €/Wc (Watt crête - Watt pike) to all collective projets led by a public master builder (20% -25% of the investment costs) and 0.75 €/Wc to all individual projets led by a private master builder (10% of the investment costs).
Nevertheless the goal of 500 m²/year from thermal solar installations has not yet been reached for two reasons: * the private collective promotion has not yet integrated these devices and support in their building practices, * difficulties concerning the operations in the existing building parc - particularly concerning the buildings served by a central heating system. Since its beginnings with solar energy the municipality has covered much more fields from their program, Agenda 21. Thus, they are diversifying the energy resources of the central heating system. Since 2008 the city's incinerator allows to recover heat in form of steam, which provides 30% of the urban energy needed. Additionally the use of wood as energy resource is almost a part of the central heating system with the aim to reach a level of 60% of renewable energies within 3 or 4 years.
