100,000 Zero Bills homes by 2030

We’ve been led to believe that energy is something we’ll always have to pay more and more for, with bills climbing higher every year. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Right at our fingertips, we have the solutions: abundant green energy from the sun and wind, combined with incredible green tech like solar panels, batteries, and heat pumps. These innovations make it possible to abandon dirty fossil fuels and create a future where clean energy is not only abundant but completely free.

Just recently, we teamed up with modular house builder Starship and Liverpool City Region Combined Authority to build one of these innovative smart homes in two days at Labour Party Conference. That’s how quickly we can create a home that generates and stores its own energy, letting the people inside live comfortably without worrying about energy costs for at least 10 years, guaranteed. It’s an exciting glimpse of what the future holds.

We’re teaming up with some of the UK’s biggest housebuilders, including Vistry, Persimmon and Bellway, to roll these homes out across the country. Bellway’s got an entire 130-home development in Bedfordshire planned for Zero Bills—our largest site yet—and regional builders like Thakeham, Verto and GS8 are going all-in with these cleantech homes.

Following the success of Zero Bills in the UK, our teams in Germany and New Zealand are already replicating the winning model abroad, with others soon to follow suit.

But it’s not just about new builds. True change will require transforming the homes we already have. We think about 500,000 homes built since 2013 in the UK could be upgraded to the Zero Bills standard. That’s a huge number of homes that could see bills disappear.

Zero Bills is helping to make green living the easy, affordable option for everyone. And we’ve got the tech, the partners, and the ambition to get it done.
