E.ON Next has unveiled a new offer designed to deliver predictable, low-cost energy for new-build homes, with electricity bills fixed at £25 per month.
The “Lower Bills, Built In” package combines rooftop solar panels, home battery storage and a smart energy management system to reduce reliance on grid electricity and stabilise household costs.
The first homes to feature the system will be built at the Avalon Grove development in Worcestershire in partnership with Cotswold Oak Homes.
Each property will generate its own electricity during the day, store surplus power in a battery and automatically manage usage through an integrated system. Homeowners will also be able to monitor energy generation and consumption via a dedicated app.
E.ON said the approach offers a scalable solution for developers and could be applied across a wide range of new-build properties, rather than being limited to high-end homes.
Research from the company suggests strong consumer demand, with three-quarters of buyers saying they would choose a home with solar panels and most willing to pay more upfront for lower running costs.
Chief Executive Chris Norbury said the model could help future-proof housing as building standards tighten, while also supporting households with more affordable and predictable bills.
E.ON is now calling for wider adoption of solar in new homes ahead of the Future Homes Standard.
