1/ #heatpumps can help reducing imports of natural gas and CO2 emissions. But they also cause an increase in electricity consumption. We had a look how this plays out in the power sector. 🧵on our latest @DIW_Berlin_en #weeklyreport (first published in 🇩🇪) doi.org/10.18723/diw_d… 
2/ What do #heatpumps do? They extract heat from the environment (usually from the air or the ground) and make it available for space heating at a higher temperature level. For this, they require some electricity.
3/ With our #opensource model #DIETER, we analyzed the power sector of the year 2030, using scenarios with different stocks of heat pumps: a reference with 1.7 mio, and three target scenarios with 3.9, 6.5 or 7.5 mio heat pumps.
