Heat Pump Association (HPA)

Track the growth of the Heat Pump industry! We are pleased to announce the launch of our online Statistics resource which will keep industry stakeholders up to date with the UK’s latest heat pump sales data and training figures. Our dedication to expediting the adoption of heat pumps in the UK is closely linked with our faith in the effectiveness of data-driven decision-making and policy formulation. Through the dissemination of these statistics, our objective is to educate individuals within the sector, whether they are policymakers, industry stakeholders, or just those with an interest. We trust that this page will serve as a valuable asset in the pursuit of heat decarbonisation.

New advice from Historic England on Adapting Buildings for Energy and Carbon Efficiency: 📢 “Having an effective low carbon heating system is one of the best ways of enhancing an historic building’s energy efficiency. In the majority of cases, replacement of existing systems will not cause harm to special interest.” 📢 We’re pleased to see Historic England dispelling some of the myths around heat pumps - the impact on historic buildings is usually minimal, and can be reduced further with careful design and siting. For more information, including additional archeological considerations, read the full advice here: https://lnkd.in/ehfGnEcr #lowcarbonheating #heatpumps #historicengland

New European Heat Pump Market Report highlights the need to solve UK’s electricity and gas price disparity. The European Heat Pump Association’s 2024 market report highlights the crucial impact of a low electricity and gas price ratio in accelerated heat pump deployment. The report illustrates that those European countries with a high ‘spark gap’ (the ratio between household electricity and gas prices) also have a lower annual total of sales of heat pumps per household.

Yesterday, the HPA met with the Climate Change Committee’s Built Environment Lead, Esther Harris, to discuss the role of low-carbon heating in Carbon Budget 7. The workshop included an overview of the CCC’s current modelling approach for Carbon Budget 7 and their assumptions for heating systems. It also provided an opportunity for HPA Executive and Full members to directly contribute to the CCC’s work around low carbon heating and the supply chain needed to meet our net zero carbon emissions. Thanks to all the members who attended. We look forward to continuing to support the CCC in their important work. #carbonbudget7 #netzero #lowcarbonheating

The Climate Change Committee has released their Progress in Reducing Emissions 2024 Report to Parliament today. Crucially the report states: the UK is not on track to reduce emissions in 2030 by 68% compared to 1990 levels despite a significant reduction in emissions in 2023. The report highlights only a third of the emissions reductions required to achieve the 2030 target are currently covered by credible plans. It stresses the importance of long-term consistent messages backed by decisive action and key policies to support investment and remove barriers to deliver the required step change. Many of the recommendations set out in the report align with the asks of the Heat Pump Association (HPA) those pertinent to heat pumps include: 👉 Making electricity cheaper 👉 Reversing recent policy roll backs such as the exemption of 20% of households from the 2035 fossil-fuel boiler installation phase-out 👉 Remove planning barriers for heat pumps 👉 Introduce a comprehensive programme for decarbonisation of public sector buildings 👉 Publish a strategy to support skills 👉 Accelerate the electrification of industrial heat   Read the report in full: https://lnkd.in/enaqnJ3P Read our CEO, Charlotte Lee's initial reaction to the report below 👇

Following an exciting King's Speech yesterday for all those working in the renewable and energy sector, the Heat Pump Association (HPA) joined new and re-elected MPs and stakeholders in Westminster at PRASEG - All Party Renewable and Sustainable Energy Group for their Parliamentary Reception.  It was clear to see the interest in progressing the decarbonisation of heat was a priority, with speeches from Wera Hobhouse MP, Cenergist, David Cowdrey (The MCS Foundation) and Brian Tilley (E.ON) With clean energy and decarbonisation firmly on the new Government’s agenda, we look forward to representing the views of the sector over the course of the next parliament in relation to our Members Key Asks for the next Government: https://lnkd.in/eJcJBM9Z

🔊 The Competition and Markets Authority has recently published a series of compliance advice for marketing green heating and insulation products. Marketers should: - Present accurate headline price information which is comprehensive of costs usually required - Be careful about references to government funding, ensuring the price of the product is clear - Make sure product claims can be evidenced and clearly explained to the consumer - Be careful not to exaggerate benefits and avoid using 'up to' claims Read the advice in full to understand how businesses can protect consumers and avoid misleading claims about green heating products: https://lnkd.in/g7vz94_Y #heatpumps #greenheating #lowcarbonheating
