This publication provides feedback from the heat pump industry to the European Commission’s work on the forthcoming Energy-related Products Omnibus proposal, as well as the revision of the New Legislative Framework.
Heat pumps have the potential to deliver REPowerEU objectives, whilst strengthening energy security and boosting industrial competitiveness.
With 2.31 million heat pump units sold in 2024, the sector already makes a substantial contribution to employment across manufacturing, installation and maintenance. Overall, employment is significant, with approximately 433,000 jobs supported directly and indirectly.
The scale and continuity of these annual sales, however, depend not only on market readiness, but also on a coherent, predictable and supportive regulatory framework that enables their rollout.
