One of the biggest things we can all do to tackle climate change is switch to clean power. At Good Energy, we’ve been giving people that choice since 1999. And by working with our customers, generators and investors, we’re achieving our purpose, which is: powering the choice of a cleaner, greener future together.
We source our electricity from our own wind and solar farms, as well as our community of over 1,400 independent renewable generators. From West Country solar farms up to Scottish wind farms, our generators are all based in the UK. All electricity flows through the National Grid. We make sure that what our customers take out of the grid, we’ve fed in from our renewable generators. Which means that, the more people who choose renewable power, the cleaner and greener the UK’s electricity system becomes.
