The UK government’s Smart Secure Electricity Systems (SSES) Programme is set to transform the domestic energy landscape and heat pump manufacturers are at the heart of this change. As the drive toward smarter, more flexible energy systems accelerates, it’s vital that manufacturers understand what’s coming and stay ahead.
Our latest white paper, The Smart Secure Electricity Systems Programme: What it means for heat pump manufacturers, outlines what the SSES Programme means for your business, including upcoming regulations, compliance timelines, and the technical requirements that will begin rolling out from 2027.
Key insights from the white paper:
- All heat pumps must be smart-enabled and DSR-ready
- Minimum standards for communications and tariff response
- Defined requirements for cybersecurity, user interface, and metering
- Clarity on Phase 1 and Phase 2 timelines
- The role of smart controls in simplifying compliance
These developments represent more than just regulatory updates, they signal a fundamental shift in how heat pumps are designed, deployed, and integrated into the UK’s smart grid. The white paper unpacks this shift in full, highlighting the technical, regulatory, and commercial implications for heat pump manufacturers.
