  • The rapid decarbonisation of the electricity grid and the high efficiency of ground source heat pumps means this route to the large scale electrification of heating shows significantly more promise than the decarbonisation of the gas grid.
  • Smart controls, cooling, and PV-T  innovations coupled with ground source heat pumps will enable this rapid transformation to take place.

Blog: Decarbonising the National Grid: why hybrid heat pumps aren’t the answer

  Summary: In this interview, Dr Matthew Trewhella, Managing Director at Kensa Contracting, shares his thoughts on the role of hybrid heat pumps (a gas boiler coupled with an air source heat pump) compared to ground source heat pumps in future heat frameworks.


Blog: Investigating the impact of heat pumps on the electricity grid

Summary: Kensa explains how plans for widespread deployment of heat pumps will help to reduce strain on the electricity grid. A report found the electrification of domestic heating on the grid is far less problematic than previously thought. Peak heat demand is 170GW, 40% lower than previously thought. Maximum ramp rate is 60GW/h, around 50%…
