By investing in NETSU SA, a potential investor becomes a shareholder of a company that has a high growth potential due to the government guarantee of the payment of subsidies from the “Clean Air” program over the next 9 years. Under the “Clean Air” program of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, until 2029 a heat pump subsidy in the amount of PLN 32,000 (PLN 37,000 with an additional photovoltaic installation to power the pump) can be obtained. Clean air is a government subsidy for owners or co-owners of residential buildings who plan to replace ineffective heat sources with modern heat pumps. The state allocated PLN 103,000,000,000 for this purpose in the program planned until 2029.

Sales channels and franchise

The company has two large warehouses, one in the north of the country in Gdańsk and the other in the south in Ruda Śląska.

In April this year, the company launched a franchise network offering a business model in the area of heat pump sales with the necessary equipment. In order to implement the franchise network project, the company NETSU Dystrybucja Sp. z o.o., in which NETSU SA acquired 100% of shares. The plans for the development of the franchise network include the opening of 50 new distribution points in Poland by the end of 2021 and 120 new distribution points in 2022. Ultimately, the company plans to open about 300 distribution points, which will effectively cover the territory of the country and build a sales network. In addition, in 2021, it is planned to start expansion into foreign markets, mainly in Great Britain, Ireland, Germany and France in the master franchise model. Interestingly, in April, the company signed a pilot distribution agreement in Lithuania, which has already started selling the devices.

In May this year. the company signed the first agreement with a franchisee, which provides for the exclusive operation of the company’s showroom in the city of Tarnowskie Góry and the Tarnowskie Góry district. The contract provides for cooperation in the sale of heat pumps with the necessary equipment under the NETSU brand.

Heat pump market and development prospects

Heat pumps are a strongly growing segment of the Renewable Energy Sources market. In 2019, over 20,000 water-air devices were sold in Poland. For 9 years in a row, the recorded increases have been record-breaking. Compared to 2018, sales of this type of pump increased by 91%. It is estimated that over 128,000 devices have already been installed in Polish homes. An important factor is the “Clean Air” program with the amount of PLN 103,000,000 until 2030, of which nearly 18,000 applications related to the installation of heat pumps, NETSU is on the green reference list, which means that the manufacturer’s equipment is subject to reimbursement. The promotion of technology among installers and designers, a decrease in device prices and relatively low investment costs, the possibility of effective cooperation with photovoltaic installations, as well as an increase in the ecological awareness of Poles are also important. Already the first quarter of 2020 showed a two-fold increase in sales compared to the first quarter of 2019 and amounted to 108%. A factor that will significantly affect the further development of the market is the strategy announced by the European Commission, which assumes the share of heat pumps in private construction at the level of 40% by 2030.
