As per a separate report by Pulse, LG Electronics, on Tuesday, had joined forces with the United Kingdom's largest power supplier to accelerate the rollout of heat pump heating and cooling systems across Europe.

The company said it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Octopus Energy on August 28th, 2025, at the British firm's London headquarters to pursue strategic collaboration in cleantech.

Under the partnership, LG's high-efficiency heat pump systems are set to be integrated with Octopus' Kraken platform and launched in major European markets, including the United Kingdom and Germany.
