BEAMA has published Heat Electrification by Design, the fourth report in the electrification by design series

13 June 2018

Today BEAMA has published Heat Electrification by Design, the fourth report in the Electrification by Design series.

In December 2017 BEAMA published a report, Electrification by Design, exploring policy and market mechanisms to promote deployment of low-carbon electric systems. In it we identified critical enablers of a flexible and efficient low-carbon energy system. These include consumer engagement with energy use, targeted automation of energy management in buildings, and demand-side energy management. In the report we identified some of the challenges facing the market for smart products and made some recommendations for how to enable and maintain this market and maximise benefits to the consumer and to the network.

This report provides further detail on BEAMA’s view of the market for heat electrification, the benefits on offer and the associated recommendations that are fundamental to realising greater value and the delivery of enhanced markets for heat provision and low carbon technologies.

We trust that this paper is a useful addition to the debate of how best to engage the Regulator, Government, service providers, the supply chain and consumers around the market potential for heat electrification and the steps required to further solidify the value proposition on offer.
