CHMM Aims

The Clean Heat Market Mechanism (CHMM), for which enabling powers are being taken in the Energy Security Bill introduced to Parliament in July 2022, aims to provide the heating appliance industry – and wider market – with a clear, stable policy framework and the accompanying incentives to invest with confidence in scaling up the consumer market for heat pumps, thereby accelerating deployment and driving down energy demand from buildings.

It is supported in this by, and itself complements, wider government action summarised below, which aims more directly to:

• Reduce the upfront costs of heat pumps and support households and building owners with heat pump installations to kickstart the market
• Reduce the running costs of heat pumps, including relative to fossil fuel boilers
• Support an expansion of heat pump manufacturing in the UK
• Grow the number of skilled heat pump installers and maintain high standards in the quality of heat pump installations
• Support a range of other innovations to broaden the appeal, efficiency and ease of adoption of heat pumps.
