Project Organisation:

SP Distribution PLC

Technology type(s):

Air source heat pumps, smart controllers and thermal storage

Location:

East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire and the Highlands

Grant value:

£1,266,000

Predicted completion date:

March 2024

Project description:

The project will install air source heat pumps, thermal storage and smart controllers in rural or semi-rural homes across 3 council areas in Scotland: East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire and the Highlands. The project will demonstrate how storage and smart controls can reduce the peak demands of heat pumps on energy networks. It is hoped that the demonstrator project will help to facilitate a quicker transition to low carbon heat by reducing the extent to which energy networks require upgrading. SP Distribution PLC is working alongside E.ON Energy Solutions Ltd and delivery partner Derryherk Ltd to deliver the project.
