Posted by: electime 21st February 2025
“The latest data from the MCS Data Dashboard show that January 2025 was the strongest start to the year in Scheme history for certified renewable installations, with 23,021 systems installed – up 26 per cent from January 2024.
“Battery storage saw its best month ever, with over 2,600 installations – a 176 per cent increase compared to January 2024. This surge is underpinned by the growth of our certified battery storage installer base, which now exceeds 2,000.
“Heat pumps also continue their upward trajectory, with 4,902 installations recorded in January – up 21 per cent on January last year – as more homeowners make the switch to low-carbon heating. This brings the UK’s total number of certified heat pump installations to 280,992 as of the end of January 2025.”
