EHPA position on the EU energy security framework

EHPA position on the EU energy security framework

13 Oct 2025

Heat pumps play a pivotal role in enhancing Europe’s energy security by harnessing natural energy from the air, ground, or water, requiring only a small amount of driving electricity.

Their deployment reduces Europe’s reliance on fossil gas imports for heating and cooling across residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

The European Commission is revising the EU energy security framework to address sectoral fragmentation and the gaps revealed during the energy crisis caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and to prepare for a more decarbonised, electrified, and integrated energy system.
