The Government aims to install 600,000 heat pumps per year by 2028. With the UK currently managing just over 60,000 annual heat pumps sales,1 extreme growth is required to realise this target, and decarbonise how we heat our homes and buildings. Gemserv is working with industry and government to facilitate the roll out of heat pump technology at scale.
Heat pumps are a proven and cost-effective method of providing efficient, low carbon heat and will be the predominant technology for decarbonising space and hot water heating within buildings. The Government is prioritising the technology on the route to Net Zero and aims to stimulate growth through a series of supply-side, demand and regulatory policy levers to accelerate deployment across the UK.
Gemserv is working with the Government, energy companies, manufacturers and trade associations as well as wider heat pump industry stakeholders to prepare the heat pump market for the energy transition. This includes assisting our clients with navigating the complex heat pump regulatory and policy landscape, providing insightful and informative research, economic analysis and stakeholder engagement.
Our broad expertise across the sector, deep rooted industry connections, and outstanding heat pump market insights ensures our clients are provided with strong voice within the heat pump industry. We work with clients to design, shape and deliver a supportive policy landscape to positively transforming the heat pump sector to meet the UK’s decarbonisation targets.
