Growth in the number of Heat Pump installations in January helped propel renewable installations in January 2025. The latest data from the MCS Data Dashboard indicates that there were nearly 5,000 installations in the first month of the year, bringing the total number of MCS certified installations to nearly 281,000.
Ian Rippin, CEO at MCS, commented: “The latest data from the MCS Data Dashboard show that January 2025 was the strongest start to the year in Scheme history for certified renewable installations, with 23,021 systems installed – up 26% from January 2024.
“Battery storage saw its best month ever, with over 2,600 installations – a 176% increase compared to January 2024. This surge is underpinned by the growth of our certified battery storage installer base, which now exceeds 2,000.
“Heat pumps also continue their upward trajectory, with 4,902 installations recorded in January – up 21% on January last year – as more homeowners make the switch to low-carbon heating. This brings the UK’s total number of certified heat pump installations to 280,992 as of the end of January 2025.”
