Details

The Heat Pump Ready Programme, Stream 1, Phase 2 competition aims to design and demonstrate innovative, optimised solutions and methodologies which deliver more cost-effective and high-density deployment of domestic heat pumps. This will help to increase innovation and learning about the implications across:

  • the local energy network
  • the supply chains
  • the approaches used to engage with consumers

Stream 1 projects should provide:

  • an improved consumer journey: a complete, ‘hassle free’ journey for the consumer
  • a cost reduction for consumers: through the coordinated provision of heat pump deployment to a high-density of buildings in a single area
  • an opportunity to understand the network impacts of high-density heat pump deployment: through engagement with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) this approach provides flexibility using multiple heat pump installations in a given area

Funding

Funding will be awarded using the Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) approach. This process enables the development of innovative products and services in response to specific challenges faced by government departments and public-sector bodies.

Successful business partners receive finance to develop their innovative ideas, generating new business opportunities and routes to market. The competition and the SBRI approach is not limited to small and medium sized organisations.
