Octopus Energy is enabling Germany’s first 100 per cent ‘Zero Bills’ neighbourhood in Schramberg, Baden-Württember.
It follows the launch of Germany’s first Zero Bills home last July. Germany is one of three countries, along with the UK and New Zealand, where Octopus Energy has introduced the tariff.

The Schramberg development will offer residents a future free from energy bills for at least six years with each of the 24 homes powered by green technology, including solar panels, heat pumps and batteries.
Construction of the development is set to begin in the next few weeks, with the first residents expected to move in by the end of 2025.
The new homes will also feature timber frame construction by partner housebuilder Kampa, adding to their affordability and eco-friendly living standards.
Launched in 2022, the programme claims to be a world-first energy tariff from Octopus Energy that allows customers to move into homes equipped with green tech, guaranteeing no energy bills.
Octopus Energy aims to deliver 100,000 Zero Bills homes by 2030.
