EHPA Membership Fees

EHPA membership is open to organisations active across the heat pump value chain – manufacturers, component suppliers, installers, national associations, research institutions, and other stakeholders supporting the heat pump sector.

For members wishing to join for the remainder of 2026, the categories and fees for 2026 are still applicable. Those joining from 1 January 2027 will be aligned to the 2027 fee structure.

These fees are applicable for both Full and Associate members. Associate membership is available for non-Europe based organisations. They don’t have voting rights or access to our members-only platform.

Annual membership fee, applicable to all members in calendar year 2026. We consider the annual turnover on heat pump-related sales activities in Europe.

As agreed by the General Assembly in May 2026, new membership fees and categories will be applicable as of 2027.
