Data centers and building electrification are increasing the demands on the electrical grid, but new technology, innovation, grid flexibility, and renewables each have a role to play in meeting that demand.  

Member states double down on heat pump support — aiming to grow economies, create local jobs, and reduce energy costs. 

The new technology is expected to cut consumer energy bills, and contractors would only see a modest upskilling to install the next-gen platform.

By building a pipeline of skilled professionals and strengthening both new and existing markets, the Contractor Network will drive lead generation for participating contractors and support community-led electrification projects.

With energy costs on the rise, the campaign emphasizes how modern electric appliances — like heat pumps, heat-pump water heaters, and solar panels — can help families cut bills, boost comfort, and protect themselves from future price shocks.

Commercial buildings are looking to hit emissions targets, and are in desperate need of HVAC contractors to show them the way.
