* ATW market in France
France is Europe’s largest ATW market, recording annual demand of more than 100,000 units at its peak in 2008. Oil prices in France surged in 2007-2008, and the government offered incentives to install heat pump heating and hot water supply systems to encourage the switch to electricity.
