Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of (1) the UK manufacturing and job-creation potential of scaling up heat-battery production, and (2) the potential for this technology to offer an exportable solution for the global clean-heat market.

Heat batteries are a promising technology that could provide a clean heating solution for homes where other technologies may be less suitable. That is why the Government is taking steps to extend the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to support eligible heat batteries.

The UK is home to several leading heat battery manufacturers, including Tepeo and Sunamp. The Government recognises the potential for growth in heat battery deployment to support UK manufacturing and jobs, as well as to create export opportunities.
