Hopkins Homes announces Suffolk's first zero bills homes with Octopus Energy
Regional housebuilder Hopkins Homes has partnered with Octopus Energy to offer the first-ever Zero Bills homes in Suffolk.
This pilot scheme will be available exclusively at Hopkins Homes’ Church View development in Bramford. ‘Zero Bills’ is a world-first smart tariff that allows customers to move into homes that are fully kitted out with green technology and with no energy bills, guaranteed.
The three- and four-bedroom houses in Bramford will be equipped with cutting-edge, green technology including roof-mounted photovoltaic panels, air-source heat pumps and a home battery.
Duncan Jackson, managing director of Hopkins Homes commented:
"We recognise our role in creating environmentally friendly communities. We are committed to delivering energy efficiency and smarter living, while maintaining the charm and traditional essence of our homes. This partnership represents the first of many exciting initiatives for Hopkins Homes as we strive towards the goal of being net-zero-carbon ready by 2050."
‘Zero Bills’ is made possible through Octopus’ technology platform, Kraken, which connects to the clean energy devices installed in the home and optimises their energy usage to deliver a zero bill.
Michael Cottrell, zero bills director at Octopus Energy added:
“As the energy grid evolves, so does our ability to revolutionise homeownership. With our Zero Bills smart proposition, Hopkins Homes homeowners can enjoy not only zero energy bills, but also a genuine shift towards sustainable living. By leveraging state-of-the-art technology and renewable energy, we can make green living the standard across the industry.”
Octopus Energy has now accredited close to 1,000 zero bills homes across the UK and aims to deliver 50,000 globally by 2025.
