Heat pumps will need to be installed in the vast majority of Welsh homes to meet climate targets, the Welsh government has said.
However, the government’s new heat strategy stops short of saying if or when oil and gas boilers will be banned, acknowledging the switch was still “beyond the means” of many.
It said it would focus on making it easier to opt for the greener tech with financial incentives and changes to planning rules, among other things.
Heating accounts for 50% of energy use in Wales, 75% of which is generated by burning oil and gas, releasing planet-warming carbon emissions.
