EECA’s Very High Temperature Heat Pump (VHTHP) Activator demonstration initiative focuses on HTHPs, which supply process heat very efficiently, with conversion efficiencies in the 300% to 500% range.

EECA seeks proposals from Service Providers looking to work with Project Owners requiring heat above 85oC to deliver New Zealand-based VHTHP Projects. Supported VHTHP (including steam heat pump) projects must supply heat demands requiring a minimum of 85oC and are expected to deliver a minimum 150% increased energy efficiency (COP of 1.5). The value of developed projects will be at least $250,000.

EECA has approved a budget of up to $10 million for co-investment though this RFP to support Service
The co-funding is to share the risk of new or underutilised technologies for industrial and commercial businesses and would contribute toward both the up-front Project development costs, and the implementation costs.

We will accept Applications as they come in and process through regular moderation meetings, through to the final acceptance date or earlier if the funding is all allocated.
Providers contracted by 30 June 2026 to develop and build projects.

A supplier briefing will be held on Tuesday 31 March 2026 at 11am - please use this link to register to attend this session - https://eeca.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ayv3EiZlTZ6NccUD0waEfA
