#citizen 🧑🤝🧑 action in the energy transition is booming in #Europe.
Thousands of new initiatives, strong focus on
☀️ #SolarPV (82% of production capacity). Wind 2nd at 9%.

There is a silent transition going on in Dutch 🏠
Over the past decade the share of electric stoves has risen to 85% of new sales
People are open to change, once they have gotten over the initial hurdle & the alternatives are good
next stop? #gasboilers

🛑 @EP_Industry just agreed on their EPBD position.
Some good points there, but… a very worrying provision supporting fossil heating has been added in the last minute.

2022 is set to be another record-breaking year for heat pumps. Markets have doubled in a number of European countries.
What is driving this?
💶 energy price crisis triggered by the invasion of Ukraine
⛔️ phase-out dates for fossil fuel heating

What if we could use the waste heat beneath our feet? District heating offers tremendous potential to do that.
Yesterday I spoke at @thameswater @kpmguk event about this. Great discussion with @SimonVirle @aram_wood @hm_robbo @NinaSkorupska @TomLubbock @KenHunnisett.

BREAKING: the German heat pump market grew by 53% in 2022 with 236,000 heat pumps sold.
Data from @BWPev @BDH_Waermewende
Berlin, 16.01.2023. Der Absatz von Heizungswärmepumpen stieg im Jahr 2022 laut der gemeinsamen Absatzstatistik von BWP und BDH auf 236.000 Geräte und damit um 53 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Zur weiteren Beschleunigung des Wärmepumpenausbaus fordert der Bundesverband Wärmepumpe eine rasche und konsequente Umsetzung der angekündigten Novelle des Gebäudeenergiegesetzes sowie weitere Maßnahmen zur Entlastung des Strompreises. Auch mit industriepolitischen Instrumenten solle der Markthochlauf unterstützt werden.
Earlier this month the Dutch Mandatory Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) scheme came into force. A much needed policy to save energy and ensure healthy work environnments.
Offices 🏢 in #NL are now required to have an #EPC label C or higher.
Unfortunately, half (!) of all offices are still non-compliant.
