"A common criticism of heat pumps is that they do not work in cold weather.

However, the Nordic region – particularly Sweden, Finland and Norway – offers a
rebuttal to this assessment, as our research at the Regulatory Assistance
Project (RAP) shows.

These three European countries have the highest heat pump sales per 1,000
households in the continent.

Sweden, Norway and Finland also have the coldest climates in Europe. In all
three countries, there are now more than 40 heat pumps per 100 households, more
than in any other country in the world.

At RAP, we have analysed the driving factors that led to this Nordic success
story, as part of the development of our heat pump policy toolkit, which we
launched at the COP27 climate summit in Sharm el-Sheikh last year."
