Cleveland Thermal owns, maintains and operates the district heating and cooling systems for Downtown Cleveland.

The district heating system, which provides steam for heating and process use, has been providing reliable service to Downtown Cleveland businesses for more than a century. The steam is generated from Cleveland Thermal’s coal-compliant facility on Canal Road. This plant has the capacity to generate more than 450,000 pounds per hour of 150 psig steam for distribution. In addition, the Hamilton Avenue plant, a natural gas and fuel oil-compliant facility, can generate 500,000 pounds per hour of steam.

District chilled water, Cleveland’s most recent utility, began operating in April 1993. This district cooling system provides chilled water that is used for cooling and dehumidification. District cooling’s efficiency and ability to flatten your facility’s electric load profile has made it a viable and popular solution for commercial space conditioning.

Cleveland Thermal is Downtown Cleveland’s district heating and cooling provider.
