E.ON Next expands Battery Boost with three network operators

E.ON Next has announced an expansion of its Battery Boost programme with three electricity network operators to provide free home batteries to more households at risk of fuel poverty.

• The expanded partnerships involve Northern Powergrid, SP Electricity North West, and UK Power Networks, with batteries offered at no cost to the customer to shift electricity use off-peak and help local grids manage demand.
• The new agreements are part of E.ON Next’s £4 million investment to provide 1,000 more batteries across north Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, the east and northeast of England and Greater Manchester; the company says earlier customers are saving nearly £500 a year, and modelling suggests potential savings of around £150 million a year across 615,000 households by 2035.
