During his visit, Mr Hayes praised tepeo’s efforts in transforming home heating: “It was fascinating to visit tepeo’s facility in Wokingham and see first-hand how their heat battery technology is transforming the way we heat our homes.
“Heat batteries provide an exciting, efficient, and flexible technology, making greener, more affordable energy a reality for households.
“Companies like tepeo play a crucial role in the Labour Government’s mission to decarbonise homes, build energy security, and lower energy bills for families, and I look forward to supporting the sector as I continue to carry out my role as National Mission Champion for Energy.”
Pioneering sustainable home heating
tepeo’s ZEB heat battery boiler is an innovative low-carbon heating solution designed to reduce emissions and support the decarbonisation of homes, particularly those unsuitable for heat pumps. The technology highlights the importance of collaboration between the government and private sector in advancing the adoption of green technologies.
Johan du Plessis, CEO of tepeo, emphasised the company’s commitment: “It’s an honour to welcome Tom Hayes MP to our offices today. We’re proud to be part of the movement towards decarbonising homes across the UK and are excited to work alongside the government in delivering innovative solutions like heat batteries.
“By embracing technologies such as the ZEB, we can help homeowners reduce their reliance on fossil fuels and move towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.”
Driving accessibility through policy support
tepeo has called on the government to extend VAT relief and subsidies to innovative technologies like the ZEB, making low-carbon heating solutions more affordable and accessible for homeowners. This aligns with the UK’s decarbonisation goals and the broader push towards energy efficiency in the housing sector.
