EDF has made its first investment in the UK heat pump market, forming a strategic partnership with Clacton-based heat pump installer CB Heating. Under the partnership, EDF will offer end-to-end installation services to its three million customers from CB Heating’s 500-strong Heat Pump Installers Network. Its investment will additionally support the development of a new academy, which could potentially train up to 4,000 new installers per year starting from Autumn 2022.
