I was thinking district heating systems are probably a bad fit for heat pumps because they use steam. But if electricity prices have a tendency to go negative retrofitting them with resistive heaters could be a win.
- creer 3y agoAre there a lot of steam district heating systems in the UK? I was thinking low cost retail electricity would be quickly absorbed by anyone not yet on electric (or district) heating buying cheap electric heaters (and they ARE cheap).
- Gibbon1 3y agoI think in Nordic Countries and places like Germany and Russia. My opinion if you get regular periods where electricity prices drop to zero or negative someones going to move to take advantage of that.
