Very High Temperature Heat Pump Activator Initiative - Energy Efficiency Demonstration Projects Utilising EECA Co-funding Support

EECA’s Very High Temperature Heat Pump (HTHP) Activator demonstration initiative aims to support energy affordability for New Zealand industry through increased energy productivity.

This initiative focuses on HTHPs, which supply process heat very efficiently, with conversion efficiencies in the 300% to 500% range.

EECA is looking for projects that will not only deliver increased energy productivity but also demonstrate the efficacy of commercially available efficiency technology at high temperatures in various scenarios.

Applicants can apply for co-funding to install these technologies utilising EECA’s co-funding offer.

Co-funding has 2 components:
1. Base payment – 25% of total project cost (up to $1 million).
2. Contingent payment – Up to 25% of total project cost (capped at $1 million), payable under certain conditions.
