MILLIONS of Brits could become energy bill-free as the government lays out plans to invest in solar panels.
Households will soon be eligible for grants to install green energy resources in an attempt to create new “zero bill” homes.
Next month, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband will share how he plans to reduce carbon emissions from Britain’s homes by spending £13bn on green energy, according to The Times.
Labelled the Warm Homes Fund, the money will be spent on means used to cut the cost of energy bills.
He plans to invest billions of pounds into solar panels, batteries and heat pumps.

The new measures will save Brits thousands each year and potentially scrap energy bills entirely.
