The Danish Energy Agency (Energistyrelsen) has said that subsidies for housing heat pump The installations will be available again from May 27.
According to the agency websitecitizens can receive uniform subsidies from the heat pump pool for individual heat supply, regardless of the size of a home, as long as an installation contributes to savings in energy consumption.
The scheme is mainly intended for citizens who cannot obtain district heating in their area and want to replace their heat source with more climate-friendly variants. However, with the new subsidies, citizens living in areas with potential district heating are also eligible.
A subsidy of DKK 17,000 will be available for air-to-water heat pumps, while a subsidy of DKK 27,000 will be available for liquid-to-water heat pumps, also known as ‘ground heating’. Applications are open until all funds have been distributed.
Energistyrelsen said that more than 20,000 Danes have benefited from the subsidies in recent years. They stem from the country’s 2018 Energy Agreement, a long-term energy policy with the overarching goal of bringing the country to 55% renewable energy by 2030.
“The heat pump pool is an obvious option if you are considering replacing your primary heat source with a greener alternative that is also cheaper to run in the long term,” says Lone Brose, head of swimming pool administration at the Danish Energy Agency.
Last year, the European Heat Pump Association drew up a current overview Overview of subsidies for residential heat pumps in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Norway and Switzerland.
