Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment she has made of the cost effectiveness of ground source heat pump energy production in (a) the UK and (b) North Yorkshire.
The Department has conducted and published research on the cost effectiveness of heat pump technology, including ground source heat pumps, such as the ‘Cost of installing heating measures in domestic properties’ report available here. Research indicates ground source heat pumps are a highly efficient, mature technology capable of decarbonising heating in many UK homes.
