Edenstone Homes Group Partners With Sero
The Edenstone Homes Group has partnered with energy service and tech company Sero, to pave the way for the delivery of 6,000 zero carbon homes across Wales and the South West of England by 2030.
The two companies have come together to form an ambitious Joint Venture, that over coming months will establish a blueprint for the delivery of zero carbon smart homes, underpinning Edenstone's ambition to be a net zero carbon business by 2025.
The South Wales based Edenstone Group has an extensive pipeline of housing projects and is looking to draw on Sero's expertise in using renewable energy technologies (such as solar panels, battery storage, heat pumps and EV charging) and smart energy management systems to deliver cutting-edge carbon efficient homes.
Sero has developed a number of digital products to drive forward the domestic decarbonisation agenda and has a track record of delivering industry leading initiatives. This includes the retrofit of existing homes as well as the delivery of new low carbon homes, such as 225 low carbon homes at Parc Eirin in Tonyrefail (with partners Pobl, Tirion Homes and Morganstone).
James Williams, CEO of Sero said: "We already have the technology and knowledge needed to deliver zero carbon homes, so now we need to demonstrate delivery and viability at scale – as ultimately this is where we need to get to sooner rather than later to meet net zero targets.
"Through this JV we have an opportunity to show how much customers love living in low carbon homes because of the lifestyle benefits it offers around comfort and convenience, increased well-being, and lower energy bills. We need to demonstrate that zero carbon homes are what customers want, and help the industry and market adapt to achieve a position where net zero is the industry standard."
The JV is already in the process of creating a series of pilot projects at several Edenstone sites (including Parc Ceirw Garden Village in Swansea and at Orb Drive in Newport). These demonstration homes will showcase various technology options, setting a blueprint for how the Group will look to deliver its new build homes as it moves into the future.
