Too good to be true? Scheme promises chance to live in a house with zero energy bills
"Hundreds of thousands of future homeowners could soon benefit from a scheme which would eradicate their energy bills, as Octopus Energy collaborates with several housebuilders to deliver savings. The energy supplier which became the UK's largest last year is working with developers to build homes in the UK that are fitted with bill-busting upgrades like solar panels, heat pumps and battery storage."
"In the run up to Christmas, Octopus has partnered with Barratt Redrow, the country's largest housebuilder, to deliver 54 of these homes next year. These will be in Wixams, Bedfordshire and Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, with the new residents of these properties paying no energy costs for at least 10 years.

Octopus Energy is collaborating with several housebuilders to deliver homes fitted with solar panels, heat pumps and battery storage designed to eliminate household energy bills. The supplier, which became the UK's largest last year, has partnered with Barratt Redrow to build 54 zero-bill homes in Wixams, Bedfordshire and Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, due in 2026. New residents of those properties will pay no energy costs for at least ten years. The zero-bills offering is based on estimated Ofgem price-cap levels for early 2026 and would represent average annual savings of £1,758 per household.
