How customer choices of heating and hot water appliances could be impacted by the electrification of UK's energy mix
The electrification of the UK's domestic and commercial energy mix, as part of decarbonization efforts, raises questions about the capability of the national electrical grid to handle increased demand.
The UK government aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and considers wider electrification and sustainable energy sources as key strategies. However, UK will need to expand its electrical grid capacity and ensure a baseload of power to meet the minimum energy demand, while dispatchable power sources are used during peak demand periods.
Rinnai, a company focused on heating and hot water appliances, acknowledges the complexity of decarbonization efforts in the UK and is committed to informing customers about energy policy and shifts in the energy landscape that may impact costs, and also impact customer choices of heating and hot water appliances.
