With energy bills set to sky rocket this year, families across Wales are inevitably looking at ways they can save money on their rent and household bills. While there's no quick-fix for keeping our bills down, one new Swansea estate may hold the key to a long-term solution to the rising prices - keeping homes energy-efficient.
At Hillview Crescent in Clase, 25 new three-bedroom family homes are approaching completion - and each has been designed to reduce the amount of energy used, while generating energy from the sun via multiple solar panels on properties' roofs. The properties have been constructed as part of Swansea Council's pledge to build 1,000 new council homes between 2021 and 2031 and have cost £6.5m to be built - but this has all come from rent payments and grants.
