Looking to make your home greener, warmer, and more energy efficient—without the upfront financial pressure? The Welsh Green Homes Scheme interest-free loans are now live, helping homeowners install renewable energy systems with zero interest. This powerful initiative is your chance to future-proof your property, lower your energy bills, and reduce your carbon footprint.
At Blue Ape Renewables, we're proud to support Welsh homeowners through this scheme. We’ll guide you through the process and help you make the most of this government-backed initiative.
What Is the Green Homes Scheme?
The Green Homes Scheme, offered by the Development Bank of Wales, provides 0% interest loans for homeowners across Wales to install energy-efficient and renewable systems such as:
Solar PV panels
Battery storage
Air source heat pumps (ASHP)
Insulation and double glazing
EV chargers
These loans can be used to improve the EPC rating of your home, reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, and protect against rising energy costs.
Loan amounts range from £1,000 to £25,000 and are repayable over up to 15 years, depending on your financial circumstances and the scope of your upgrades.
Why Act Now?
Energy prices are unlikely to fall significantly in the coming years. Investing in renewables now is one of the smartest decisions a homeowner can make. When you pair this with 0% finance, it becomes even more appealing.
At Blue Ape Renewables, we’re MCS and NAPIT certified, an Octopus Energy Trusted Installer, and rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot. We don’t just install your system—we partner with you to ensure it performs, saves you money, and adds long-term value to your home.
