Setback for Habeck: Run on oil and gas heating systems - development of the heat pump is disappointing. The goal of the traffic light coalition, according to which 500,000 heat pumps are to be installed in Germany from 2024, is unlikely to be achieved so quickly.
The reason for this development could be, among other things, the uncertainty among consumers in the wake of the Building Energy Act. Since January 1st, 2024, every newly installed heater must comply with the Heating Act at least at least 65 percent by renewable energy.
