tepeo, a leader in heat batteries, has opened an additional manufacturing facility, allowing the company to expand its operations. Lord Callanan, Minister for Energy Efficiency and Green Finance, officially presided over the opening.
The company’s Zero Emission Boiler (ZEB®) has been designed to support the UK’s Net Zero ambition. The ZEB uses electricity to supply heating, charging up and storing most of the heat a home requires at off-peak times. The company says this makes it a more cost-effective and cleaner option compared to existing boilers.
Tepeo says that the successful expansion with its new facility will not only increase the number of ZEB®’s produced but also provide a new home for some of tepeo’s growing team.
Johan du Plessis, founder and CEO of tepeo, said: “Our mission is to become leaders in low-carbon heating solutions. We need to increase our manufacturing capacity to build more of our Smart Heat Batteries to achieve this.
“The expansion is not just a success story for the company but a promising development for British manufacturing. Opening our new facility reflects the increasing demand for low-carbon home heating technology. It is a tangible sign of what the future will hold for tepeo and how we think about home heating.”
Speaking on the opening, Lord Callanan, Minister for Energy Efficiency and Green Finance, said: “The UK is a world leader in decarbonising, becoming the first major economy to halve its emissions between 1990 and 2022. Reducing carbon emissions from our homes is key to helping us push further and support families towards net zero. It gives me great pride to see British manufactured technology, like tepeo’s heat batteries, contributing to our mission and giving consumers a greater choice in switching from fossil fuels to cleaner, greener heating.”
