European Heat Pump Association’s Post

🌡️ #HeatPump sales in 14 🇪🇺 countries were ⬇️ 5% in 2023, breaking a decade-long streak of growth (figures: EHPA European Heat Pump Association) This slowdown isn't just numbers. It's impacting nearly 3,000 jobs 🙅 With the EU's Heat Pump Action Plan on hold, it's now time to act. See why 15 member states ask the European Commission to fast-track its release to guide Europe toward energy independence! https://lnkd.in/eYVBtjSn

European Heat Pump Association Interesting article on the 5% fall in heat pump sales. I am a bit disappointed about your recommendation to ask for tax benefits to lift heat pump sales. A key measure within the circle of control of #ehpa members is standardisation of comunication protocols, such that heat pumps can be activated in advanced #demandmanagement. Communication standards could unlock the huge potential of building flexibility in #thermalmass and #tapwater storage to mitigate #networkcongestion and optimize local power consumption. https://lnkd.in/dthBUPYq

Heat over delayed EU heat pump plan: The European Commission’s decision deliver its hotly anticipated Heat Pump Action Plan late next year instead of this month is a “mistake” that will impact the sector and €7 billion ($7.6 billion) worth of investments, the European Heap Pump Association’s (EHPA) secretary general Thomas Nowak says in a statement. #HeatPumps #Markets #MarketsPolicy

Proud Participants in the European Heat Pump Association Policy Debate and 2024 General Assembly. Today, we joined the European Heat Pump Association's Policy Debate and General Assembly, which provided fantastic insight into the brilliant work of the EHPA over the past 12 months, a look ahead to the future along with an overview of the key Policy Enablers needed across Europe to accelerate heat pump deployment. Along with the EHPA, we see the correlation between electricity prices and heat pump uptake as crucial to accelerating deployment. Reducing the ratio of electricity and gas prices to 2-1, is optimal. The UK currently stands at 4-1- double! This effort not only supports the viability of heat pumps but also fosters a fairer energy market for all, and supports the lowest carbon heat, being the lowest cost heat. We're excited to continue to work closely with the EHPA and will be presenting our latest reports at the next meeting of the EHPA's National Associations. Our focus will be on current barriers to enhancing heat pump adoption and the possible opportunities that may arise out of the transition to low carbon heating in the UK. Our collaboration and input is part of our broader effort to support our collective missions and be part of the change we want to see. A huge thank you to Thomas Nowak for his leadership of the EHPA. We wish him all the best for his future endeavours.   #HeatPumps #SustainableEnergy #EHPA 

There is no #energytransition without a #heattransition and no heat transition without #heatpumps. That's why today, together with 60 CEOs, I signed a letter to call for the rapid publication of the European Heat Pump Action Plan. Delaying it would be counter-productive and send the wrong signal to the market and to a sector which is one of the most critical European net zero industries on the EU’s path to 2050!

Recent data released by the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) on heat pump sales in 14 European countries shows an overall fall of around 5% in 2023 compared to 2022 figures. This reverses the trend of previous years, where combined sales increased annually. The dropping sales come as the EU’s Heat Pump Action Plan, due to be published in early 2024 to support the sector, has been delayed by the European Commission until ‘a time to be decided’. In the meantime, changing national policy measures are unsettling investors and consumers. The UK Heat Pump Association (HPA) calls on the UK Government to take heed of this decline. This downturn is primarily being attributed to policy uncertainty and the disparity in the price between electricity and gas, which are being felt within the UK market too.

Heat pump sales fall 5% amid EU action plan delay Heat pump sales across 14 European countries dropped by approximately 5% in 2023 compared to the previous year, raising concerns about potential job losses European Heat Pump Association Thomas Nowak #heatpumps #decarbonisation #energytransition #heatingsystem #energycustomers

BREAKING: UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero confirms the launch of the Clean Heat Market Mechanism in 2024 - the first of its kind in the world. This policy will require boiler manufacturers to sell a number of heat pumps equivalent to 4% of their boiler sales. The target will increase in future years to 6% and rise in future years so that the UK can achieve its 600,000 heat pumps per year target in 2028. Companies selling more heat pumps than required can earn credits that can be traded with those selling fewer heat pumps than required by the target. https://lnkd.in/e_ngfKcY

It's great to see heat pump grants becoming more common in European markets, often making the upfront cost equal/lower than gas boilers. The next step is to ensure a fair pricing balance between gas and electricity, making running costs more competitive. Ping European Heat Pump Association and Euronews. #DREM #heatpumps
