Actually the homes typically take heat out with a simple heat exchanger, not a heat pump. Projects previously could use the waste heat from electricity generation, but fewer of those sources are available with coal plants shutting down and gas plants only being run when there is no wind. Add to that the much higher cost of infrastructure compared to installing a heat pump in every home and it's not looking good for future projects. But inner cities that do not have room for that could still benefit.
