The home energy revolution you've been waiting for.
Ever felt like managing your home's energy is a bit… stuck in the past? Like you're constantly juggling different bills, trying to figure out what's what, and wondering if there's a simpler, greener way to power your life? We hear you, and we totally get it. Traditional energy solutions can often feel complex, fragmented, and frankly, a bit of a faff. They've largely focused on individual bits of kit, leaving you to piece together the puzzle. But what if we told you there's a whole new approach on the horizon, one that brings everything together in one neat, easy-to-manage package?
Well, get ready because E.ON Next is on a mission to transform how you power your home. We're incredibly excited to introduce something genuinely revolutionary: E.ON Next Gen Home. Imagine an all-inclusive, modular energy package designed to simplify your sustainable living journey from start to finish. Think of it as your home's energy sorted, with a single, fixed monthly payment covering all your green energy needs and services. That's the future we're building, and we can't wait to share it with you.
“We’ve taken low carbon technologies usually only available to the few, and packaged them into one simple monthly price — no jargon, no upfront costs, no hassle.”
Zac Curtis, Innovation Lead, E.ON UK.
What is E.ON Next Gen Home?
Your path to a smarter, greener home.
So, what exactly is E.ON Next Gen Home? In a nutshell, it's about making sustainable energy accessible, affordable, and incredibly straightforward. We've brought together the essential technologies your home needs to thrive in a greener world, packaged them together, and offered them in a way that makes financial sense. And what’s even better, it also includes a heat pump annual service, all tied together with your very own home energy management app!
A truly comprehensive package, built for you.
E.ON Next Gen Home isn't just about one thing; it's about everything working in harmony. It’s a comprehensive package of the key technologies that contribute to a truly efficient and sustainable home:
Solar panels: Harnessing the sun's power to generate clean electricity for your home.
Solar batteries: Storing that excess solar energy so it can be used even when the sun isn't shining, or when electricity prices are higher.
Heat pumps: A super-efficient way to heat your home, drawing warmth from the air or ground.
EV chargers: Powering your electric vehicle conveniently and cost-effectively from home.
A cutting-edge smart home energy management system: This is the brains of the operation, seamlessly integrating all these elements to optimise your energy usage and savings.
It's everything you’ll need, all designed to work together, so you don't have to worry about a thing.
One bill. One payment.
Let's talk about those unpredictable energy bills. They can be a real headache, can't they? With Next Gen Home, we're waving goodbye to that uncertainty.
Our offering provides one monthly payment that covers not just your energy, but also the installation of all the equipment, and maintenance.
No upfront costs.
We firmly believe that clean energy should be for everyone, not just those with deep pockets. One of the biggest barriers to upgrading your home with sustainable tech can be the significant upfront costs. That's why Next Gen Home is designed to eliminate this hurdle.
By removing the need for a large initial investment, we're making sustainable upgrades achievable for more households across the UK. It's about making a positive change accessible, plain and simple.
Powered by trusted partners.
We know trust is paramount, especially when it comes to something as important as your home's energy. That's why we've teamed up with some of the best in the business to bring you Next Gen Home. We're working with industry leaders who share our commitment to quality and reliability:
JA Solar for state-of-the-art solar panels.
SolarEdge for robust and efficient batteries.
Vaillant for reliable and high-performance heat pumps.
Myenergy Zappi for smart and convenient EV chargers.

With these partnerships, you can be confident that you're getting top-tier technology that's built to last, quality you can count on, and innovations that actually work together, not just sit side-by-side.
Why E.ON Next is leading the way. Because we listened to what really matters.
We didn't just dream up Next Gen Home in a boardroom. This offering is a direct response to what we've heard from you, our customers. We wanted to understand your pain points, your desires, and your vision for a greener home. And what you told us has shaped every aspect of EaaS.
Designed around your needs.
You told us what you want, so our EaaS offering directly addresses the core desires you expressed.
Affordable energy: Keeping your costs low is paramount, and our proposition is laser-focused on delivering exactly that, offering a fixed monthly cost and the chance to lock-in lower rates through smart energy use.
Simple systems: We're making it incredibly easy to adopt, install, and ultimately use these new Home Energy Management Systems. No complex manuals, no puzzling interfaces, just smooth, intuitive operation.
Dependable support: You shouldn’t need an engineering degree (or three phone calls) to fix a fault. Our customer support is built into the package, along with proactive maintenance and real-time monitoring. If something’s not right, we’ll sort it.
Personalised options: Every home is unique, and so are your energy needs. That's why we're making it possible to tailor your energy solution to perfectly suit your specific home and lifestyle.
Tackling the big questions. Here’s what we heard (and how we’re answering.)
We also dug deep into your concerns, and we're addressing them head-on:
Is it really cost-effective? We know cost is a key factor, and rightly so. Our focus is on removing those upfront costs and providing cost transparency. We'll give you clear insights into your potential savings, so you can see the value for yourself. We’re also upfront about energy savings. You’ll get insight into how much you’re using, storing and saving with our smart tools, so there’s no mystery.
Will I own the kit? Yes. From day one, the tech in your home is yours. You’re not renting your roof out to the sun gods, this is your kit, installed to stay. And we’ll keep you informed about price changes, contract terms, and anything else that affects your rights.
How long is the contract? We found that while five years might sound manageable, most people preferred ten when they saw the lower monthly cost it offered. So we’re offering flexible contract lengths, with clear benefits to help you choose what fits.
What about control and flexibility? EaaS works best when we can steer your energy use slightly, for example, timing your battery charge when electricity is greener or cheaper. But don’t worry, we’ll be clear about what’s happening, and it’ll always be about energy efficiency.
Our roadmap to a greener future. Small trials, big ambition.
This isn't just a grand plan; it's a living, breathing project with clear, tangible next steps. We believe in a measured approach, ensuring we get things absolutely right before rolling out to everyone.
The EaaS trial: launching summer 2025.
Before a full-scale launch, we're conducting a trial with 20 homes. This isn't just a pilot; it's a real-world testing ground. Starting in July 2025, these homes will be the proving ground for EaaS. This controlled environment allows us to test, learn, and refine every single aspect of the proposition. It means we can iron out any wrinkles, gather invaluable data, and ensure a robust and seamless mass market launch. It's about getting it right, not just getting it out there.
Full launch in 2026.
Our aim is to roll out the EaaS Minimum Viable Product (MVP) across the UK by spring 2026. That means more homes will be able to access clean, reliable energy without the hassle.
We’re learning fast, and improving constantly, based on actual data, not guesswork.
The bigger picture: your whole home, sorted.
Our ambition extends far beyond just energy solutions. By 2030, we aim to expand our services to include wider home solutions. Think about things like advanced insulation upgrades and even smarter home integrations, often through strategic partnerships with other brilliant innovators. We're not just building a better energy solution; we're building a truly complete, better home for you, one that's efficient, comfortable, and future-proof. It's a journey, and we're excited to take these next steps with you.
The final word. Let’s shape the future, together.
E.ON Next’s Energy as a Service is more than a shiny new product. It’s a way of doing energy differently, based on listening, learning and building around your life.
We’re not claiming to have solved every problem or cracked the code for climate change. But we do believe in progress that’s fair, flexible and grounded in what people actually need.
Clean energy shouldn’t be a luxury or a puzzle. It should be simple, affordable and available to anyone who wants to make a smart move.
So let’s start small, think big and power up, together. Express your interest.
