Heat pump sales soar across Europe as electricity taxes cut
Original: Heat pump sales soar across Europe after states cut electricity taxes, data shows https://www. theguardian.com/environme
New data shows heat pump sales across Europe have surged after several governments reduced taxes on electricity, making the low-carbon heating technology cheaper to run than gas boilers. The figures are being widely shared among energy and climate watchers, who see the tax cuts as evidence that pricing policy can rapidly shift consumer choices towards electrified heating and away from fossil fuels.
Why now: New sales data linking European tax cuts to a jump in heat pump adoption is timely amid debate over energy costs and climate policy.
