High Heat Retention Storage Heating
This session explores the vital role storage heaters play in shaping both household energy bills and the wider UK electricity grid. It begins by outlining how storage heaters operate, including an explanation of the High Heat Retention (HHR) classification, before moving on to the advantages offered by decentralised thermal storage. The session then examines the key regulations and standards governing the specification, installation, and use of HHR storage heaters. Finally, it considers how smart tariffs and Demand Side Response technologies can help balance grid demand more effectively, delivering benefits for both consumers and the energy system as a whole.
