Hot Water & Chilled Water supplies district heating and cooling to connected buildings in Saint Paul.
Hot Water & Chilled Water is a district thermal supply service from the nonprofit District Energy provider in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Its hot water network circulates centrally generated heating water through underground pipes to connected buildings, where heat exchangers transfer energy before water returns for reheating. Customers use the service for interior heating, domestic water heating, snow melting, and industrial processes.
The service replaces onsite boilers and water heaters, while its chilled water supply replaces chillers and cooling towers. Commercial applications include restaurant equipment, pools, breweries, and data centers. The provider serves downtown Saint Paul and the adjacent West Side neighborhood through shared thermal infrastructure.
