Conclusion
We also call on Ministers to set out, in response to this report, what measures are being considered to assist tenants who rent their homes in managing the transition to low carbon heating with their landlords; and what support might be put in place for housing associations and equivalent social housing providers with the costs of retrofitting newly built houses heated by gas boilers.

Government Response

HM Government
Acknowledged
The Government has set out its ambition for the market to grow to 600000 heat pump installations a year in the UK by 2028. This level is consistent with delivering against carbon budget commitments and is sufficient to allow for further ramp-up of heat pump deployment between 2028 and 2035 in a ‘high-electrification’ pathway to Net Zero, in which hydrogen plays no role in decarbonisation of heating. It is also the minimum level of heat pump deployment needed to meet a high hydrogen pathway. chains to meet future UK heat pump demand. The Heat Pump Manufacturing Supply Chain Research Project concluded that domestic production could be ramped up to meet demand and could reach at least 630000 heat pumps a year by 2030. Continued engagement with industry will help to increase investments in the UK to drive up domestic manufacturing. There have already been significant investments by manufacturers and the Government will seek to build this further so the UK can maximise the opportunities arising from growth in the heat pump market.
