UK mandates solar panels and heat pumps in new homes to cut emissions and save on bills.

The UK government is requiring new homes to include solar panels and heat pumps, with plug-in solar panels expected in stores soon to help lower bills. These changes, part of the "Future Homes Standard," aim to cut emissions by 75% and save households up to £830 annually. Officials also announced discounts for customers in windy regions on windy days to utilize excess power.
