The two retrofitted homes in Val-d’Oise and the Hauts-de-France region, respectively, are the first in France where residents won’t have to pay a single euro for their home energy for at least 5 years, guaranteed.
Launched in 2022, Octopus’ Zero Bills tariff lets customers move into homes packed with cutting-edge green tech – including a heat pump, a battery and solar panels – with no home energy bills for at least 5-10 years.
The move marks the next wave in Octopus’ Zero Bills retrofit trials, aiming to offer the game-changing tariff for existing homes, allowing more householders around the world to eliminate their home energy bills.
Octopus Energy aims to deliver 100,000 Zero Bills homes by 2030 and has already rolled out the initiative in Germany and New Zealand, as well as many sites across the UK.
So far, it has approved Zero Bills eligibility for over 5,000 homes through partnerships with leading developers, covering affordable and private rent, plus private and shared ownership properties.
“Not paying for home energy bills isn’t a futuristic vision – it’s something our customers around the world are living today” said Nigel Banks, Zero Bills Director, Octopus Energy. “Our launch in France shows that Zero Bills isn’t just a UK success story – it’s a global shift towards homes that are cleaner, greener, and can eliminate home energy bills entirely.”
