New Danish project provides heat pump subsidies

Aug. 05, 2009 – The Danish Energy Agency has announced a research project aiming to measure the effectiveness of energy-labeled heat pumps. The project will award grants of up to 15,000 DKK (about €2,000) to 300 households for the installation of heat pumps that are energy-labeled, while additional funding wil be available for the metering equipment.

The Danish Energy Agreement of 21 February 2008 allocated DKK 30 million (about €4 million) for a two-year effort that seeks to promote the most efficient heat pumps, and ensure their proper use. The effort is targeted to heat consumers located in areas without an opportunity for collective heating, (i.e. natural gas or district heating) and will include information campaigns, labeling of efficient heat pumps, small grants, etc.
