Within the Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Act (Sources of Energy and Technologies), yes. Here air source heat pumps are defined as a microgeneration technology. However, there is still debate as to whether air source heat pumps can be truly classed as a renewable technology if the primary power (the electricity) does not come from a renewable source.
