<p>In the ‘Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution’, my Rt. Hon. Friend the
Prime Minister announced our aim to install 600,000 heat pumps a year by 2028. We
estimate that, in all future heat scenarios, we will need to hit this target to remain
on track for net zero. We must therefore act now to scale up supply chains and build
the UK heat pump market.</p><p> </p><p>Our analysis of off gas grid homes suggests
that around 70% to 80% of homes would have sufficient energy efficiency and internal
fuse limit electrical connections to accommodate a low temperature heat pump system.
This potentially rises to around 80% to 90% with fabric upgrades including draught-proofing,
cavity wall insulation, floor and loft insulation, and/or more major upgrades such
as external wall insulation.</p>
