We're providing free solar energy to residents in East Anglia.

More than 100 properties have been fitted with photovoltaic solar panels which not only generate electricity for the home but also transfer any surplus energy into the National Grid.

The project works by using the Feed-in Tariff - a new initiative where power generated from clean energy sources such as wind turbines and solar panels provides free electricity to householders. Marjorie Qualters has benefitted from the scheme:

"My home gets the sun all day so I was keen to have a solar panel fitted. I'm looking forward to the free energy and I'm interested to see what effect it has on my electricity bills. The whole process has been quick and easy - there's been no mess and everything has been explained to me. It's a great way for people to start using technology like this."

Derek Watters, Sustainable Development Manager:

"Places for People was instrumental in getting the Feed-in Tariff introduced. As the only housing provider involved in the campaign, our involvement helped secure back-bench MP support for the policy. Following the success of the pilot we are now looking at how we can replicate this across more of our existing housing stock."
