The recognition from Octopus Energy and inclusion within the Zero Bills initiative highlights our commitment to powering the future of sustainable, accessible battery energy storage systems (BESS). It also extends the trust in our distributor and installer network, integrating our technology into next-generation homes built for energy independence. AlphaESS UK is helping drive forward one of the most ambitious domestic energy initiatives ever launched in the UK, and our distributor partners and installer network are essential elements to the programme.

"Being named a Certified Product Partner for Octopus Energy's Zero Bills homes is a fantastic step forward for AlphaESS UK and the whole energy storage sector. We are incredibly proud of the recognition of our product technology, technical and commissioning team, and our customer care approach.

What is the Zero Bills Homes Standard?

Octopus Energy's Zero Bills initiative aims to build 100,000 zero-energy-bill homes globally by 2030, with more than 10,000 planned for the UK.

For Octopus Energy and the certified partners, this isn't a discount - it's a guarantee: residents in certified Zero Bills homes pay zero for their energy, thanks to fully integrated systems designed to produce, store, and optimise renewable energy consumption.

Each Net-Zero home combines solar panels, heat pumps, AlphaESS energy storage technology, and Kraken's AI-powered smart energy platform. Together, these systems optimise generation and usage in real time, maximising efficiency and minimising reliance on the grid.

Octopus Energy estimates that approximately 500,000 UK homes built since 2013 could be eligible for Zero Bills retrofits in the future, something the AlphaESS product suite provides excellent solutions for.

WHY THIS MATTERS for AlphaESS UK Customers and Installers

As a certified partner, our AlphaESS products have met the stringent performance, safety and reliability standards to power a Zero Bills home.

For homeowners, this means trusted technology that delivers true energy independence and long-term financial savings as part of their home energy management system.

For our installer partners, it opens exciting new business opportunities in a growing sector, supported by government goals, top-tier developers, and one of the UK's most recognisable renewable energy brands.

Our mission has always been to enable everyone to have accessible energy storage. Our participation in the initiative and programme will help scale smart, sustainable homes across the UK.

Enabling a Greener Built Environment

Low-carbon, energy-efficient design increasingly defines the future of the UK's housing. From new builds to retrofit-ready developments, battery storage plays a central role in unlocking smart energy systems that are efficient, sustainable, and resilient. The Zero Bills initiative has already rolled out in Germany, and New Zealand is demonstrating a global footprint.

At AlphaESS UK, we work closely with developers, distributors, and our growing network of UK-wide certified installers to ensure readiness at every level of the supply chain, meaning:

Stock availability of certified products

Technical support and installation training

Marketing assets and partner tools to educate homeowners

Together, we're creating a joined-up ecosystem to deliver energy autonomy, one home at a time.

Building Towards a Smarter Energy Future

This announcement is more than a badge - it's a clear signal of what's possible when smart technology, clean energy, and collaboration converge. With energy prices fluctuating and sustainability targets growing more urgent, Zero Bills living represents a scalable, forward-thinking renewable energy solution to both cost and climate concerns that Octopus Energy should be applauded for driving forward.

AlphaESS UK is proud to power this change, providing the technology and support to enable homeowners to realise energy freedom and a sustainable future.

We're not just imagining the homes of the future - we're integral to them becoming a reality.
