UK government delays heat pump quota policy for boiler companies due to price increases.

The UK Government has delayed plans to require boiler companies to sell a minimum number of heat pumps, pushing back the policy by a year due to boiler companies raising their prices. The policy, which would have given manufacturers a quota of heat pumps to install from this April or face financial penalties, has been postponed to protect consumers. The government has also urged the Competition and Markets Authority to review the boiler industry, which is dominated by four manufacturers, to ensure it is offering good value to consumers.
