Heat electrification is key to the UK’s net-zero goals, but uptake of heat pumps and electric heating is slower than expected. This session explores why demand is lagging, examines early learnings from Warm Homes Plan implementation, and discusses strategic approaches for developers, networks, and policymakers to accelerate adoption while navigating pricing, network, and regulatory challenges.
- The drivers behind the slow uptake of heat electrification and its impact on electricity demand.
- Early outcomes and lessons from the Warm Homes Plan for residential and commercial projects.
- Strategies for the sector to overcome barriers, optimise project delivery, and align with electrification targets.
