About North West England
The North West has one of the highest proportions of pre-1919 terraced housing in England, with these older properties often having higher energy bills due to heat loss. The region benefits from Irish Sea offshore wind development, with increasing periods of low-cost surplus electricity that battery owners on time-of-use tariffs can exploit.
According to MCS data, at least 2,852 certified home battery installations have been completed in the North West England region since September 2023 – part of a nationwide surge in domestic battery uptake.
Your savings with an 11.5kWh battery
The battery charges overnight at 9.5p and powers your home during the day, avoiding the 33.75p daytime rate. The saving is the difference between those rates, multiplied by how much energy the battery delivers each cycle.
