Recent changes to planning regulations in the UK have made it easier for homeowners to install heat pumps by eliminating the one-meter rule, effectively removing barriers that previously hindered installation. This reform, aimed at promoting sustainable energy solutions, could serve as a model for other countries looking to streamline similar processes. In addition, customers of British Gas, EDF, Ovo, and Octopus will benefit from a £533 rebate following these regulatory adjustments, providing a financial boost as the push towards greener energy continues.
