Octopus is reducing 54 households’ bills to £0 as part of a huge new move. The energy firm and Barratt Redrow, the UK’s largest housebuilder, have joined forces to bring energy-bill-free living to households across the country.
The UK’s largest housebuilder is committing to their first 54 Octopus Zero Bills homes across 2 developments. Octopus’ game-changing smart tech means householders at flagship sites in Wixams and Tewkesbury will pay nothing for their home energy bills for 10 years.
As a first step in the partnership, Octopus and Barratt Redrow will roll out 54 Zero Bills homes across two sites in Wixams, Bedfordshire and Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. The first homes will be completed in 2026, and both partners are already exploring further potential Zero Bills sites across the UK.

Nigel Banks, Zero Bills Director at Octopus Energy, said: “We’ve been working closely with Barratt Redrow on their research trials and we are now able to showcase what can be achieved with Zero Bills at scale in new housing developments.
“With new homes already being built with solar panels, heat pumps and EV chargers, eliminating home energy bills with our game-changing tariff is now a simple, viable and cost-effective upgrade.”
Oliver Novakovic, Technical & Innovation Director at Barratt Redrow, said: “Our partnership with Octopus marks our continued research into low and zero-bill living for our customers. By combining Barratt Redrow’s highly energy-efficient homes with Octopus’ Zero Bills technology, we’re helping buyers to cut their energy costs to zero whilst also lowering their carbon footprint.
“This initiative shows how innovation in housebuilding and energy can work hand-in-hand to create homes that are not only more sustainable, but also more affordable for the long term.”
