There were almost 30,000 certified small-scale renewables installations across the UK in May, the best May on record, according to the MCS. Over 5,100 certified heat pump installations were recorded.
Ian Rippin, CEO at MCS, commented on the latest MCS data: “Last month was the best May for small-scale renewables in MCS history, with almost 30,000 certified installations across the UK, following on from the best April on record.
“Figures from the MCS Data Dashboard show that there were over 5,100 certified heat pump installations in May, as consumers continue to make the transition to low-carbon heating, driven by initiatives such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). We also reached the milestone of 300,000 all-time heat pump installations last month.
“It’s great to see us reaching crucial milestones in 2025 in the small-scale renewables sector, a positive sign that consumer confidence in home-grown energy is continuing to grow. While this momentum continues and we look to transition to the redeveloped MCS, our priority is to ensure that installations are delivered to a high standard and that consumers have the best possible experience when investing in renewable energy.”
