The Colliers Way development consists of 18 council homes which have been built to Passivhaus standards. This means they are extremely energy efficient with very low fuel bills. Swansea Council are building more homes on the site, incorporating battery technology, solar panels and air source heat pumps thanks to funding from the Innovative Housing Programme.

The Minister will also visit the Active Buildings Centre in Swansea University and see how the research and development centre uses renewable technology and modern insulation techniques to help lower fuel bills and carbon emissions in house design. 

Julie James said:


> “This year social housing providers and the private sector can apply for a share of £35m to test new approaches and technologies in housebuilding.
> 
> “A report from the Committee on Climate Change last week set out the scale of the challenge ahead if we are to develop homes that contribute to tackling climate change. The Innovative Housing Programme is playing an important part in developing the technology to support this. 
> 
> “We are looking to push the boundary on both the type and scale of innovation supported in this third year of the programme. This programme provides an important opportunity to deliver affordable, high\-quality homes that help to reduce fuel poverty and reduce the impact of housebuilding on the environment. 
> 
> “The significant investment in the programme means Wales is well positioned, to determine how the social and affordable homes of the future can and will be built. I’m looking forward to seeing some exciting projects coming forward for funding, so we can create some beautiful innovative housing in Wales.”

So far, projects funded include ‘active homes’ being built in Neath by the Pobl Group, which will welcome their first tenants in July. Tŷ Solar are delivering a number of schemes in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire constructed using local sourced timber and delivered by a local supply chains, with each timber house powered by solar panels. 

Cllr Andrea Lewis, Cabinet Member for Homes \& Energy in Swansea Council, said:


> “The availability of the funding through the Innovative Housing Programme has enabled Swansea Council to develop modern high quality accommodation for our tenants in the city.
> 
> “We believe everyone is entitled to warm, safe, affordable home. 
> 
> “We have recently approved further plans to create even more housing in the city with a number of schemes that will be developed as ‘homes as power stations’ – this has given us the opportunity to explore ways of using available modern technology that will enable each home to generate its own energy. 
> 
> “I welcome the announcement of latest funding by the Minister which we hope can benefit Swansea and the rest of Wales.”

Mae datblygiad Collier's Way yn cynnwys 18 o dai cyngor sydd wedi'u hadeiladu yn ôl safonau PassivHaus. Mae hynny'n golygu eu bod yn effeithlon iawn o ran ynni ac felly'n sicrhau biliau tanwydd isel iawn. Mae Cyngor Abertawe'n adeiladu mwy o gartrefi ar y safle, gan ymgorffori technoleg batri, paneli solar a phympiau gwres ffynhonnell aer, diolch i gyllid gan y Rhaglen Tai Arloesol.Bydd y Gweinidog hefyd yn ymweld â'r Ganolfan Adeiladau Ynni Gweithredol ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe er mwyn gweld sut mae'r ganolfan ymchwil a datblygu'n defnyddio technoleg adnewyddadwy a thechnegau inswleiddio modern i helpu i leihau biliau tanwydd ac allyriadau carbon wrth ddylunio tai. 

Dywedodd Julie James:


> “Eleni, gall darparwyr tai cymdeithasol a'r sector preifat wneud cais am gyfran o’r £35m i brofi technolegau newydd a ffyrdd newydd o weithio wrth adeiladu tai.
> 
> “Roedd adroddiad gan y Pwyllgor ar Newid Hinsawdd yr wythnos diwethaf wedi nodi maint yr her o'n blaenau, os ydyn ni am ddatblygu tai sy'n cyfrannu at fynd i'r afael â'r newid yn yr hinsawdd. Mae'r Rhaglen Tai Arloesol yn chwarae rhan hanfodol wrth ddatblygu'r dechnoleg i gefnogi hynny.
> 
> “Rydyn ni'n ceisio gwthio'r ffiniau o ran y math o arloesi a graddau'r arloesi sy'n cael eu cefnogi yn ystod y drydedd flwyddyn hon o'r rhaglen. Mae'r rhaglen yn cynnig cyfle pwysig i allu darparu cartrefi fforddiadwy o ansawdd uchel sy'n helpu i leihau tlodi tanwydd a lleihau effaith adeiladu tai ar yr amgylchedd.
> 
> “Mae'r buddsoddiad sylweddol hwn yn y rhaglen yn golygu bod Cymru mewn sefyllfa dda i bennu sut y bydd cartrefi cymdeithasol a fforddiadwy yn cael eu hadeiladu yn y dyfodol. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weld prosiectau cyffrous yn gwneud cais am gyllid, fel y gallwn ni greu tai arloesol hardd yng Nghymru.”

Hyd yma, ymhlith y prosiectau sy'n cael eu hariannu y mae ‘active homes’ sy'n cael eu hadeiladu yng Nghastell\-nedd gan y Grŵp Pobl – maen nhw'n croesawu eu tenantiaid cyntaf ym mis Gorffennaf. Mae Tŷ Solar yn cyflwyno nifer o gynlluniau yn Sir Benfro a Sir Gaerfyrddin. Mae'r tai'n cael eu hadeiladu gan ddefnyddio pren o goed lleol sy'n cael ei gyflenwi gan gadwyni cyflenwi lleol, a phob tŷ pren yn cael ei bŵer o baneli solar. 

Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Andrea Lewis, Aelod o'r Cabinet dros Dai ac Ynni yng Nghyngor Abertawe:


> “Mae'r ffaith bod y cyllid hwn ar gael drwy'r Rhaglen Tai Arloesol wedi galluogi Cyngor Abertawe i ddatblygu llety modern o ansawdd uchel i'n tenantiaid yn y ddinas. 
> 
> “Rydyn ni'n credu bod gan bawb yr hawl i gael cartref cynnes, diogel a fforddiadwy.
> 
> “Rydyn ni newydd gymeradwyo cynlluniau ychwanegol i greu hyd yn oed fwy o dai yn y ddinas, a nifer o'r cynlluniau'n cael eu datblygu'n 'dai sy'n orsafoedd pŵer' – mae hynny wedi rhoi'r cyfle inni archwilio ffyrdd o ddefnyddio'r dechnoleg fodern sydd ar gael a fydd yn galluogi pob cartref i gynhyrchu ynni ei hunan. 
> 
> “Rwy'n croesawu'r cyllid diweddar hwn a gyhoeddwyd gan y Gweinidog, ac rydyn ni'n gobeithio y bydd o fudd i Abertawe a gweddill Cymru.”
