Winter fuel payment: households could slash £509 on energy bills by ditching central heating for lesser-known solution
manchestereveningnews.co.ukThere’s a lot of pressure on consumers to think about their household energy consumption. Whether it’s sky-high bills, concern for the environment, or both, we live in an era where clean, affordable energy is a growing priority for millions.
According to the ONS, there’s been a 40% increase in household solar panel installations between 2018 and 2023, with a 15% increase between 2022 and 2023 alone.
Hooking up your home to a clean energy solution is typically an expensive, challenging process. But clean energy company egg has stepped in to make things easier and more financially do-able, offering 0% APR financing options on solar panels and storage batteries in a bid to make green power more affordable and achievable.
By installing a solar panel system, the average household stands to reduce their annual energy bill total by £509.
