Heat pump grid demand aggregation

Number of households
Try increasing to 300,000 households (roughly the number of UK homes with heat pumps today) or 30 million (all homes, fully electrified), or enter your own value.
Household heat demand kWh/y
The average {{ group=='mid' ? 'MID metered' : '' }} HeatpumpMonitor system supplies around {{ average_heat_kwh.toLocaleString() }} kWh/y of heat (use this). This is higher than the heat demand of a typical UK household.

Note: There are a small number of HeatpumpMonitor systems that also provide active cooling in summer, real active cooling demand is aggregated as positive heat output (winter defrost heat loss is still subtracted as it should be).
