The production of hot water is made by a combined heat and power (CHP) engine (3 MWt and 3.2 MWe), four fuel boilers (three of 2 MWt and one of 1 MWt for potable hot water). As for the cold water production, the plant has one absorption chiller (that uses the CHP hot water; 1766 kW) and six electrical chillers (four of 1300 kW and two of 900 kW).
