A NEW initiative is showing how clean energy technologies are making a difference in Coventry homes.
Energy company E.ON’s Power Pro on the Go initiative has made its inaugural launch in Coventry North West, giving MPs a look at how low-carbon solutions are being applied in homes.
Taiwo Owatemi MP joined E.ON representatives on a visit across her constituency to see the benefits of clean energy technologies in action.
At a resident’s home, Ms Owatemi was shown how smart meters enable households to better understand and manage their energy consumption.
She said: “It was great to join E.ON on the ground in Coventry and see first-hand how this partnership with Coventry City Council is working for local people.
“From smart meters in people’s homes to solar on the CBS Arena and heat pumps at Coundon Family Centre, this is about taking new technology and making it practical and useful across our communities, from households to schools and local businesses.
“At a time when many people are worried about the cost of energy, what stood out was how this work helps people better understand their usage and make more informed choices. Seeing it up close, and speaking directly to the engineers delivering it, turns something that can feel complex into something real and accessible.
“Coventry is showing how innovation in energy can be brought into everyday life in a way that works for people.”
E.ON says these technologies are central to delivering a more flexible, resilient and sustainable energy system.
Scott Somerville, Director of External Affairs at E.ON, said: “Power Pro on the Go gives decision makers the chance to see first-hand how these technologies work in people’s homes, to ask questions directly to the engineers delivering them, and to understand not just what we do, but why it matters.
“By making these conversations practical and grounded, we can build confidence in the role energy innovation plays in supporting customers, communities and the wider transition.”
In Coventry, E.ON is engaged in long-term partnerships supporting decarbonisation and the deployment of low-carbon technologies, including initiatives in residential energy, public infrastructure and community buildings.
