Hopkins Homes, a leading housebuilder in the UK, has taken a revolutionary step towards sustainable living by offering a 10-year Zero Energy Bills guarantee for select eco-homes at their Church View development in Bramford, Suffolk. This groundbreaking initiative, which doubles their previous 5-year commitment with Octopus Energy, marks the first time a UK housebuilder has provided such an extensive guarantee, offering homeowners a decade of consistent energy costs.
The guarantee is made possible through significant upgrades to the battery storage systems within these homes, allowing them to store and utilize more renewable energy, resulting in extended periods of self-sufficiency. This sets a new standard in the housing industry, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and long-term cost savings for homeowners.
Duncan Jackson, Managing Director of Hopkins Homes, expressed pride in being the first to offer this guarantee, highlighting its significance in delivering cost certainty and promoting sustainable living. He believes this initiative will revolutionize the way people perceive and live sustainably in their homes across the UK.
Cllr Andy Mellen, Leader of Mid Suffolk District Council, praised the initiative, recognizing its benefits for homeowners and showcasing the possibilities of existing technology. Nigel Banks, Technical Director Zero Bills at Octopus Energy, emphasized the collaboration’s role in setting a new gold standard for sustainable living. He believes the 10-year guarantee not only provides financial security but also reduces carbon emissions, aligning with the UK’s net-zero goal by 2050.
The Zero Bills homes at Church View, Bramford, represent a significant step forward in the UK’s journey towards sustainable living, offering homebuyers a unique opportunity to own energy-efficient properties that deliver long-term cost savings and environmental benefits.
