Rolling out heat pumps is central to the clean-energy transition and to achieving carbon neutrality in line with the goals set in the European Green Deal and the REPowerEU Plan.
The Platform is designed to bring together key players to collaborate, share ideas, experiences and best practices to promote sustainable heating solutions.
Objectives
To identify barriers to the deployment of heat pumps across the EU, and suggest targeted policy measures to address them, the Heat Pump Accelerator Platform will
- bring together heat pump people from across the EU to work together and accelerate heat pump deployment
- create a network dedicated to sustainable heating solutions
- track policies that impact heat pump deployment, especially at national level
- align strategies on energy, industry, research, and education so they all support heat pump deployment
- tackle barriers through the expertise of platform members to identify and solve them
Join the Platform
The Heat Pump Accelerator Platform is open to national and regional authorities, energy agencies, research institutes, civil society organisations, installers/contractors financial institutions, educational and training institutions, utilities companies, regulators and network operators.
Its members will be central to tracking market data, assessing policies, and pinpointing training and research and innovation needs. They will also support the development of a roadmap that enhances heat pump efficiency and sustainability. The call for expression of interest has ended. Applications received from now on will be kept on the reserve list.
Meetings and events
Over the 3-year period (2024-2027) the Platform will organise 9 structured meetings offering opportunities for insight sharing, contribute to strategy and shape the Platform’s goals.
These meetings will be held in Brussels in a hybrid format, allowing members the flexibility to attend either online or in person. 1 meeting in person per year is, however, strongly recommended.
- On 14 November 2024, EHPA organised a web streamed info session explaining what the Heat Pump Accelerator Platform is about and how stakeholders can take part and contribute to its implementation. See also the presentation used at the info session.
