📈 #Heatpump sales grew by 11% in 13 EU countries in 2025, reaching 2.34 million units sold.

Stable policies and lower electricity costs drive growth, but gaps between countries show untapped potential.

The Heat Pump Accelerator Platform

The Platform is a dynamic EU-wide initiative that aims to speed up the roll-out of heat pumps in buildings, industry, and district heating.

Some heat pump installers in P.E.I. concerned about provincial program cuts
P.E.I.'s recent budget saw funding cuts anda number of green initiatives paused. That includes the province's popular heat pump program, which is now on hold. CBC's Gwyneth Egan has that story.

Niche #heatpump #energysky question -- does anyone have any favourite cold climate single package vertical heat pumps they can recommend for large buildings?

Ok that’s a tad scary
The other day, right after the French gov announced they were going to forego anything US in our technical systems, I started writing a draft of a post here

But I got interrupted a bunch of times, switching back and forth between apps on my iPhone, and Mastodon (glitch-soc fork) gave up, eventually reloaded/reset my draft and that was that…

But today I got this starter screen on YouTube, also on my iPhone, and I find that incredible/scary

The intent of my cancelled post was that, as a heat pump owner, and not really an early adopter at that, I’m kinda annoyed that there was no financial incentive for me beyond the initial investment: my yearly contract and options are not (financially) better now, and in fact they are slightly worse

But here in this screenshot we have a clear ad to the contrary, hosted on YouTube (which I didn’t consult for this journey), and presumably by my secondary energy provider

… which happens to be my gas provider (not electricity), and the one energy that I’m trying to get rid of, so that’s manifold-ly weird

When I tell people what we paid for electricity over the last year (about £1500) they’re astounded how cheap our heat pump is to run. Then I point out that includes driving around 10,000 miles and all our cooking.

I was able to say this to a guy who popped round for some free concrete blocks and asked about the heat pump. Fair to say he was aghast…. Given what he’d just been quoted for a tank of heating oil. #heatpump #oilprice #domesticenergy #solar

"The practical experience gained from this project shows that heat pumps can be reliably used for grid-friendly load shifting – without restricting the heat supply to households."

100+ residential heat pumps in Germany delivered power system flexibility to TSOs TenneT and TransnetBW
