Redesigning electricity bills can boost heat pump adoption across Europe

Heat pumps: an opportunity waiting to be seized
 Heat pumps cut the EU’s import dependency
  One third of EU household heating is from imported fossil gas
  Heat pumps replace imported gas with domestic electricity
  Europe has a strong heat pump manufacturing industry
 High lifetime costs slow heat pump uptake
  Heat pump upfront costs vary significantly by country, with Germany’s installations costing more than double those in the UK
  Heat pumps are 2-3 times more efficient than gas boilers, but outdated tariff rules consume the savings
  Slashing down the gap between gas and electricity prices is key to boosting heat pump competitiveness

Removing levies from electricity prices can boost heat pump affordability
 Taxes, policy costs and network fees offer short-term ways to cut electricity bills
 Cutting policy costs and taxes can help unlock heat pump deployment
 Innovative tariffs can further boost heat pump competitiveness
