The launch of the Heat Pump Accelerator Platform marks an important step in accelerating the heat pump roll-out across the EU. The platform’s inaugural meeting gathered over 80 participants,both onsite and virtually, including key players from industry, policy, finance, training, and research sectors.
A key focus was to establish a broad understanding of the priorities to address, ensuring that efforts are directed toward the most pressing challenges, such as reducing costs, increasing consumer awareness, and improving integration within the wider energy system. With sales having dropped nearly 50% in the first half of last year, this initiative comes at a crucial moment to support the needed uptake of heat pumps.
Join the policy debate “Electrifying heat: how heat pumps fit into the European integrated energy system“, co-organised with the European Commission and moderated by Jozefien Vanbecelaere, Policy Director at the European Heat Pump Association.
With insights from the Heat Pump Accelerator Platform, the session focuses on how the accelerated deployment of heat pumps – a leading electrification solution – can become an asset for energy system integration.
