Shifting to electric vehicles and appliances, like heat pumps, means that we will use more electricity than before. Measures to make our energy use more efficient are essential, alongside energy flexibility and energy storage technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest EU <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/energy\/news\/industry-european-electricity-grid-can-handle-50-million-heat-pumps\/\">energy companies and trade associations<\/a> have said that \u201cintegrating 50 million heat pumps into the existing power system is possible with existing capacity\u201d without jeopardising grid stability. This is backed up by a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0301421520306406?ref=pdf_download&amp;fr=RR-2&amp;rr=7de66071ba262e0e#appsec1\">study<\/a> from the <a href=\"https:\/\/publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu\/repository\/handle\/JRC134045\">Joint Research Council (JRC)<\/a>, which shows that \u201cmost national power systems could cope with higher heat-electrification rates\u201d. 12 EU Member States are even prepared already for full electrification scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only three countries in the EU have a power system that would be stressed if 60% of all fossil-fuelled technologies were substituted. However, even this challenge is not unsurmountable. Making electricity demand flexible would enable larger shares of heat electrification. According to another JRC analysis, the load shifting potential of heat pumps can be released by activating their smartness, \u201cunlocking the possibility to shift up to 4 to 14 GWh hourly\u201d.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ecostandard.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mythbuster-on-heating-decarbonisation.pdf\">Read the report (pdf)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why stalling on the transition to clean heating in the EU will only help fossil fuel companies.
