欧洲12国在2024年上半年住宅热泵销售达116万台，较2023年同期的105万台增长1。这一销售增长由多重因素推动，包括2024年2月底伊朗战争爆发导致的能源价格上升、以及部分国家实施的电力税减免政策1。原油价格在2024年4月下旬一度攀升至每桶126美元1。欧洲热泵协会总干事Paul Kenny表示，"欧洲正在摆脱对来自靠不住供应商的一种有毒、昂贵药物的依赖：天然气。"1
电力价格优势成为促进热泵采购的重要因素。在英国，电力成本是天然气的4倍多，而罗马尼亚的电力价格更是天然气的5倍1。比利时政府计划在2026年进一步调整税收结构，使电力成本下降3%，天然气成本上升3%1。欧盟委员会近期发布电气化行动计划，建议各国政府降低电力税、提高天然气税，以加快从化石燃料向可再生能源的转型1。与此同时，英国太阳能和电池系统年均可节省681英镑，装设太阳能后电费下降幅度达62%，该国太阳能装机容量在2024年上半年创下2011年以来最高水平1。
Residential heat pump sales across twelve European countries climbed to 1.16 million units in the first half of 2024, up from 1.05 million units in the same period of 2023.1 The increase has been driven by a combination of energy price volatility and government policy shifts aimed at accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
Rising crude oil prices, which reached a peak of $126 per barrel in late April 2024, contributed to the upswing in heat pump adoption.1 The price surge was linked to regional geopolitical tensions, with military confrontations between the U.S., Israel, and Iran beginning on February 28, 2024, and extending over a seven-month period.1 Escalating energy costs have made heat pump technology increasingly attractive to consumers seeking alternatives to gas heating.
Several European governments have implemented or planned electricity tax reductions to encourage the shift away from natural gas.1 In Belgium, a tax adjustment plan set for 2026 will reduce electricity costs by 3 percent while raising natural gas costs by 3 percent.1 The European Commission has released an electrification action plan recommending that governments lower electricity taxes and raise taxes on natural gas to expedite decarbonization.1 The price differential between electricity and gas in some markets underscores the urgency of this fiscal reorientation: in the United Kingdom, electricity costs more than four times as much as natural gas, while in Romania the ratio reaches five to one.1
Beyond heat pumps, solar energy installations have also gained momentum. Britain's solar and battery systems generated average annual savings of 681 pounds, with household electricity bills declining by 62 percent following solar installation.1 UK solar capacity in the first half of 2024 reached its highest level since 2011.1 According to Paul Kenny, the general secretary of the European Heat Pump Association, "Europe is ending its addiction to a toxic, costly drug from dodgy suppliers: gas."1
