Electrical heat pumps: subsidised rates are on their way.

AEEG (Authority for electricity and gas) published the forms for applying for the new D1 rate on May 20th.

The rate experimentation stage targeting residential clients using heat pumps as the only heating system will start on July 1st. Application of the new D1 rate is aimed £at removing obstacles to energy efficiency arising from the existing progressive structure of the fees for the supply of electricity, when devices powered by electricity and energy efficient such as heat pumps are installed.” As a matter of fact, the system currently in force entails progressive charges, i.e. a price for the kilowatts used that rises with the rise in consumption. Joining the price experimentation is on a voluntary basis and requires sending a request to the electricity provider.
