$BRQSF In 2023, the U.S. Climate Alliance, a bipartisan coalition of 25 governors representing about 60 percent of the U.S. economy (and 55 percent of its population), made a commitment to quadruple heat pump installations by 2030. In 2024, nine states and the District of Columbia made a pledge to have heat pumps meet at least 65 percent of residential-scale heating, air conditioning and water heating shipments by 2030 and 90 percent by 2040. This ambitious goal, which was signed as a Memo of Understanding with the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM), serves as an example for other states to follow. (The nine state signatories are California, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island — plus the District of Columbia.)
