Electrification of Heat - Summary reports and datasets

Funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and led by Energy Systems Catapult with support from LCP Delta and Oxford Computer Consultants, the Electrification of Heat Demonstration Project sought to understand the technical and practical feasibility, and constraints of a mass rollout of heat pumps into British homes.

A total of 742 heat pumps were installed by the delivery contractors – Warmworks (Scotland), E.ON (north east of England), and OVO Energy (south east of England – excluding London) – into a broad spectrum of housing types.

The project has demonstrated that the large-scale rollout of heat pumps is possible within the UK. It has shown that heat pumps can be successfully installed in all the types of property which were tested by the Project. It has also shown that they can operate with good efficiencies and provide positive consumer heating experiences.
