Economic context
Hexham is the principal market town of the Tyne Valley, serving a large rural catchment from Haltwhistle in the west to Stocksfield in the east. The economy is dominated by agriculture, tourism (Hadrian’s Wall traffic), and an affluent commuter belt serving Newcastle via the Tyne Valley railway.
Energy context
The Tyne Valley has the highest proportion of rural housing in our service area — around a third of homes are off mains gas, typically heated by oil, LPG or solid fuel. That makes battery storage the single most impactful upgrade most Hexham-area households can make.

Paying next to nothing for electricity now
“Had solar panels and a battery fitted in February. By summer we were barely using any grid electricity at all. The monitoring app is great — you can see exactly what the panels are generating and where the energy is going.”
DDavid R.
Sunderland
Smooth install, paperwork done properly
“North 85 surveyed the roof carefully (some installers had quoted me without measuring) and the layout they came back with put 12 panels where I expected 10. Net export to Octopus Outgoing is paying back faster than I had budgeted for.”
AAndrew F.
Newcastle upon Tyne
Great communication start to finish
“From the quote through to the final commissioning, the North 85 team kept me in the loop. Scaffold up Monday, install Tuesday-Wednesday, commissioned Thursday. Even helped me register for the SEG tariff. Highly recommend.”
