National Grid: Learnings from the UK’s largest heat pump trial

Please join us for a webinar on Trial two of National Grid’s EQUINOX Project. EQUINOX is developing, trialling, and implementing commercial  and technical arrangements at scale that can maximise participation of domestic heat pumps in DSO flexibility while meeting the needs of all customers, including those with vulnerabilities. Trial two ran from December 2023 to March 2024 and had 1,048 households sign up to participate.  

This webinar will present the design of Trial two, share results and impact evaluation findings, discuss key learnings and implications, and share our plans for the third and final EQUINOX trial upcoming this winter.
