The Heat Pump Accelerator: Advancing REPowerEU in a HeatBeat
#HPForum
The European Heat Pump Association together with its members and partners is leading the change with an EU Heat Pump Accelerator, poised to transform the adoption of heat pumps across the continent.
The European Commission’s REPowerEU plan sets forth ambitious targets, calling for a doubling of newly installed heat pumps annually. EHPA estimates 20 million additional heat pumps by 2026 and 60 million by 2030, surpassing the current count of 17 million units. To achieve these goals, the European Commission is developing a Heat Pump Action Plan, scheduled for release by the end of 2023.

 

EHPA and other organizations are collaboratively creating an “accelerator” document to identify barriers and propose effective solutions for rapid heat pump deployment. As the Heat Pump Action Plan and regulatory changes take shape, the future of heating and cooling shines brighter than ever!
Be a part of the Heat Pump Forum 2023, this transformative gathering, where we co-create the heat pump strategy and accelerate its implementation.
