In partnership with Octopus Energy, clean energy-tech company Aira has announced two new energy tariffs designed to reduce energy costs for Aira heat pump customers, with further energy cost savings for those with solar panels.
With plans to serve 1 million homes across the UK with clean energy solutions over the next decade, Aira says it is paving the way for households with an Aira heat pump to save up to 33% on their energy costs through the Aira Zero tariff, and up to 44% on energy costs when adding solar panels and Aira solar export tariff.
Aira Zero is aimed at customers who are looking to maximise energy cost savings and reduce CO2 emissions. It is claimed that with this tariff, a typical British household can save up to £500 on energy bills each year, with eight hours of the day at a 51% discounted rate compared to the local day rate.
Meanwhile, the Aira Solar Export tariff has been created for homes with Aira heat pumps, Aira Zero and solar panels. This tariff is claimed to save customers up to £1,245 on their yearly energy bills, and is available on a fixed or flex rates.
Aira Intelligence’s native integration with the Aira Zero tariff ensures the Aira Heat Pump preheats when energy prices are low and conserves energy when prices are high. The optimisation is automatically turned on once a household switches to the Aira Zero tariff.
Kaj af Kleen, Aira chief product & technology officer, says: “At Aira, our mission is to take Europe off gas by accelerating the electrification of home heating, and this strategic partnership with Octopus Energy is another step forward for the clean energy transition. We’re proud to be driving this mission forward together and saving people more money with clean energy tariffs. Aira Intelligence’s native integration with the tariff allows us to manage the heat pump optimisation seamlessly, offering customers maximum cost savings and complete peace of mind. We’re excited to continue on this path, expanding our ecosystem further and developing future collaborations to bring more clean energy-tech solutions to the market.”
Rebecca Dibb-Simkin, chief product officer at Octopus Energy, adds: “We’re delighted to be powering Aira in their mission to supercharge the transition to cheap, clean power for all. Together we’re launching two trailblazing new tariffs that will empower Aira customers to slash emissions and save serious money.”
