Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to his Department's Heat Pump Ready Programme, if he will make an estimate of the total number of heat pump installations that have taken place in each of the past three years in each local authority area.

The Heat Pump Ready Programme, part of the £1billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, was launched October 2021.

Heat Pump Ready Stream 1, Phase 1 projects began feasibility studies in July 2022 and have not yet installed heat pumps. BEIS recently published the Stream 1, Phase 1 projects. In Stream 1, Phase 2, commencing in early 2023, the most successful Phase 1 projects will trial their proposed methodology, deploying heat pumps within their local authority areas.

An earlier BEIS Energy Innovation Programme, Electrification of Heat Demonstrator, has installed a total of 742 heat pumps across South-east Scotland, Newcastle and South-East England.
