That is to say 100% of the thermal consumption for the wine cellar : hot water, heating, vapour for the sterilizing of the bottles, cold water for the air conditioning for the summer and water for the refrigeration of the vats for the fermentation. The system will also be capable of covering at least 30% of the electrical consumption for the refrigerators. The goal is to arrive at full energy independence.
