Are we OK to let go of geothermal heat pumps (for now)?

Hello Alberto, the proposal is fine by me (us), well done by everyone involved!
We support the idea to found an energy community, whether and to what extend we’ll be able to contribute to solar panels and batteries will depend on the final pricing of the Reef, as such I think once we have an Entrepreneur Général, we’ll know more.
As I unfortunately couldn’t be present at today’s plenary, I still wanted to take the opportunity to explain one reason as to why I’m a lesser fan of the air heat pump solution, and that is because I perceive they aggravate the cross-subsidisation from bigger to smaller units: We had discussed in the past that smaller units add proportionally more to construction costs than larger units due them requiring proportionally more ressources , and here we’re dealing with a cost position that is almost entirely made up of costs per unit (sth like 10k?), but then divided by our distribution key, where as a result larger units contribute more due to the larger space they occupy. When we consented to our valuation key, your argument against the inclusion of a size factor was that the finition will absorp some of these cost effects. I wonder then whether we shouldn’t discuss to move heat pumps from casco to finition?
