Heat Pump City of the Year Award Ceremony
The Heat Pump City of the Year (HPCY) Award is an EHPA project which recognises the most efficient, smart and sustainable Heat Pump project at local level.
The HPCY Award was launched in 2011 to highlight cities and regions that have put in place an energy-efficient project which takes advantage of Heat Pump technology.
The international appeal of the award has grown year after year and now attracts participants from all over Europe and beyond. With 110 participating cities from 27 countries.
GeoAtlantic - Innovating geothermal heat pumps: status quo and outlook for the next decade
One of the objectives of the EU Energy Strategy is to move beyond an economy based on fossil fuels, with the directive on renewable energy proposing a binding target for the EU of at least 27% of its energy comes from renewable sources by 2030. Many of the changes that this transition involves will be noticed in cities and municipalities. An ecosystem for the promotion of the energy transition and geothermal energy in the local communities of the Atlantic Area is necessary: cooperation between actors; social awareness; consumer training; economic promotion; demonstrator effect.
In combination with technologies, renewable sources can supply the demand for heat and cold, which is half of the final energy demand in Europe, with more advances needed in energy production (focus on geothermal energy exploitation).

Heat pumps are ready to surf the renovation wave
The EU Commission has taken the next logical step: buildings are top users of energy and atmospheric polluters. The newly announced Renovation Wave communication should unlock the renovation of 35 million inefficient buildings by 2030 and gives specific attention to decarbonising heating and cooling.
This initiative can be the accelerator the EU needs to reach its Climate and Energy goals in 2030 and 2050, while ensuring sustainable economic recovery and meeting other policy goals.
In order to have 40% of all homes heat pump heated in 2030, 48 million families have to decide to invest in a heat-pump based heating system and the industry has to deliver, install and maintain 48 million heat pump systems before 2030. To achieve this, a heat-pump system needs to fit on the grid in the home and its inhabitants’ budget. The policy has to make a market framework that facilitates end-user investment in clean technologies that are ready for 2030 - 2050.
While it's clear that heat pumps work in renovation and bring economic, environmental, social benefits to European citizens, a heat pump implementation plan is needed.
In this online event, the heat pump industry joins forces with the policy-makers as equal partners in reaching their common Renovation Wave objectives.
