The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the market potential of shared ground loops.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

Shared ground loops deliver highly efficient, low-carbon heating. They can be an effective solution, for example, for buildings with limited space for individual air source heat pumps. That is why shared ground loops are eligible for funding under government schemes including the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
