HPA Chief Executive reacts to Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan

Commenting on the publication of the Clean Energy Industries Sector Plan, Charlotte Lee, Chief Executive of the Heat Pump Association and member of the Clean Energy Sector Council said: ‘It is great to see heat pumps, and by association heating systems, being listed as a frontier industry within the plan and identified as one of six areas with the highest growth potential.

With a new Heat Pump Investment Accelerator Competition confirmed, £13.2bn recently announced for the Warm Homes Plan alongside a clear timeline for the introduction of the Future Homes Standard and a pledge to expand heat networks, it is clear the Government are committed to enhancing the UK’s energy security by decarbonising heat from buildings.

Whilst we await the detail within the Warm Homes Plan, this strategy sets clear intentions for the sector, and the HPA will continue to work closely with Government to support their missions to break down barriers to investment and deliver nationwide growth.’
