Target to install 600,000 Heat Pumps p.a. by 2028
The Prime Minister’s Ten Point Plan also set an ambition to reach 600,000 electric heat pump installations per year by 2028, as one option to accelerate the decarbonisation of heating. Along with the rollout of EVs, the electrification of heat will further drive the need for anticipatory investment in the network but equally create opportunities to exploit system flexibility. Deployed in conjunction with storage and smart meters, heat pumps are able to avoid periods of high demand, benefitting the grid, and reducing running costs.
