HPA releases ‘key asks’ for new Government ahead of General Election
T
he Heat Pump Association (HPA) has unveiled a comprehensive list of Key Asks for the incoming government ahead of the early July
General Election.
The HPA’s Key Asks are designed to provide a clear roadmap for policymakers, ensuring that the UK can meet its ambitious climate emission reduction targets whilst supporting consumers and industry alike. The Association emphasises the need for the new Government to prioritise these initiatives to provide the sector with confi dence and clarity. Only then will the full potential of heat pump technology be unlocked, which is essential for decarbonising the heating sector and reducing the country’s reliance on fossil fuels and reducing carbon emissions. The fi ve Key Asks from the Heat Pump Association, which are underpinned by more detailed policy recommendations, are to: ■ Pursue regulatory change and promised policy developments to unlock the barriers to the widescale deployment of heat pumps.
■ Reduce the upfront and running costs of heat pumps to make the lowest carbon heat the lowest cost heat.
■ Ensure we have an adequate, skilled and competent workforce to support a smooth transition to low-carbon heating.
■ Engage consumers in the transition to low- carbon heating to enable a smooth and supported approach.
■ Support all those working in the heat pump supply chain by ensuring technical standards remain up to date.
Charlotte Lee, CEO of the Heat Pump Association, highlighted the critical importance of these
recommendations, commenting: ‘The upcoming general election presents a pivotal opportunity for the new Government to demonstrate, through action, its commitment to reducing the UK’s carbon emissions in line with the UK’s legally binding targets. Heat pumps are a proven, effi cient and scalable technology that can drastically reduce carbon emissions from heating. By adopting our Key Asks, the new Government can accelerate the decarbonisation of heating, support job creation, increase private sector investment, and crucially enhance the UK’s energy security and help consumers reduce their energy bills.’ “It’s imperative that the new Government provides the necessary support to ensure a smooth transition to low-carbon heating. This includes not only fi nancial incentives but also robust policy frameworks and investment in correct skills and training. Our Key Asks are not just about the environmental benefi ts; they are about creating a cost-eff ective, stable and smooth transition to low- carbon heating that works for everyone.” The Heat Pump Association will continue to advocate for these critical measures.
