ScottishPower ready to bring smart home solutions nationwide

ScottishPower has become the first energy company to deliver smart home solutions to anyone in the country, wherever they live.

The energy company, the first integrated UK energy company to generate 100 per cent green electricity, has pledged to make it easier for customers to become greener.

With a raft of new energy solutions on offer, including solar power, batteries and air source heat pumps, ScottishPower hopes to help households take control of their own carbon emissions at a time and pace that suits them.

Chris Carberry, Smart Solutions Director at ScottishPower, said: “We want to help every household make the switch to greener, smarter energy solutions. Being able to offer these new technologies, whether in combination or on their own, to eligible homes across the country is another step towards achieving Net Zero emissions.”

Partnering with Everwarm, one of the UK’s leading energy services provider, the energy company will provide an end-to-end service for customers taking them from consultation all the way through to installation. As part of the initial consultation to evaluate the best solution for a household, potential new customers will also be provided with estimates on future energy bills, impact on their carbon footprint and made aware of the different finance options available.

As this new service begins to take off, with first installations expected in early 2022, it is estimated that the initial roll-out of these new green technologies could help support up to 300 new jobs before the end of 2025 as more people begin to train to become qualified installers and engineers.

Chris added: “To tackle the climate crisis and reach net zero we need greener, more sustainable ways to power and heat our home. That’s why we’re working with worldleading manufacturers and trusted installers to offer air source heat pumps, rooftop solar panels and solar batteries.

“As a low carbon heating solution, air source heat pumps keep your home warm and your water hot without harming the planet. And our solar solutions enable customers to generate green electricity to help meet their energy needs to support a better, greener future.”
