All-electric Kent town to help feed power into UK grid
The Guardian
|August 08, 2025
One of Britain's first all-electric towns to be built with almost no reliance on fossil fuels could soon help to power the grid with renewable energy.
The developers of a new garden town in Kent have struck a deal with a leading energy infrastructure company to design and operate a "smart" energy grid which could mean its 8,500 households act as a virtual power station for the rest of the country.
Those moving into the Otterpool Park development from 2027 will live in homes equipped with electric hobs, heating systems and electric vehicle chargers - as well as rooftop solar panels and batteries to power their fossil-fuel-free households.
In addition, the developers of the site near Folkestone hope to build a solar farm on the council-owned land adjacent to the town, which would generate enough electricity to meet half of the town's needs.
