Hopkins Homes Makes History as First Housebuilder to Offer 10-Year Zero Bills Guarantee

This innovative programme is made possible through upgrades to the battery storage systems in these homes. With increased capacity, the properties can store and use more renewable energy, ensuring extended periods of self-sufficiency and setting a new benchmark in the housing industry.

Duncan Jackson, Managing Director for Hopkins Homes, emphasised: "We are immensely proud to be the first housebuilder in the UK to offer a 10-year Zero Bills guarantee, effectively doubling our previous commitment. This unprecedented move not only delivers cost certainty to homeowners but also highlights our dedication to sustainable living."

He added, "As the pioneer of this extended guarantee, we believe our initiative will revolutionise how people perceive and live sustainably in their homes across the UK."

Cllr Andy Mellen, Leader of Mid Suffolk District Council, commended the initiative: "I am delighted to see Hopkins Homes extending the Zero Bills guarantee to ten years for these homes at Church View. This pioneering approach benefits homeowners and shows what can be achieved with existing technology."

Nigel Banks, Technical Director Zero Bills at Octopus Energy, added: "By collaborating with Hopkins Homes, we are setting a new gold standard for sustainable living. This first-of-its-kind 10-year guarantee not only provides financial security but also reduces carbon emissions."

This pioneering initiative aligns with the UK's net-zero goal to balance greenhouse gas emissions and removals by 2050, whilst responding to the growing interest from homebuyers to deliver sustainable, energy-efficient properties that offer long-term cost savings and environmental benefits.
