EHPA is the voice of the heat pump sector in Brussels.
Our main activities are advocacy and EU policy work; providing market intelligence; managing and participating in EU projects; organising events such as the Heat Pump Forum; helping ensure the quality of the heat pump sector through certification, and communications to support all our workstreams.
Heat pumps are now recognised as key to achieving the EU’s climate and energy targets, and boosting our energy security.
We advocate for EU policy measures that reflect this recognition and boost the smooth roll-out of heat pumps to meet the REPowerEU targets.
With our members, we develop and present sector positions.
We are the sector’s link with MEPs, officials from the Commission and those representing EU governments.
