57 families make sun-powered savings on offer!
Families in solar-powered Stoke-on-Trent homes have already saved an average of more than £1001 each on their energy bills since the start of a joint project between E.ON and Stoke-on-Trent City Council to develop renewable technology and promote energy efficiency across the city.
The savings have been made by the 57 families taking part in a pilot project in Chell Heath to install solar panels on council house roofs. Following on from that project E.ON, the city council and Kier Stoke are now starting work on bringing renewable energy to thousands of homes across the city.
The trial project began in September 2010 when E.ON and the city council announced plans to work in partnership to help meet the city’s ambitious environment targets.
Since then, the solar panels fitted to 57 homes have generated more than 55,000kWh of electricity, generating free electricity from the panels for residents – enough to make the equivalent of more than 2.1 million cups of tea2 – and avoiding an average of 581kg of carbon dioxide each.

The installation of the panels is also providing jobs for local people and work for local suppliers in Stoke-on-Trent.
