Good Energy

Company Overview

Good Energy Group PLC

Chippenham, United Kingdom

1999

Approximately 70 employees (source: goodenergy.co.uk). Revenue figures for 2023 are not disclosed, but the company previously served 72,250 electricity customers and 43,000 gas customers as of June 2016 (source: wikipedia.org).

What They Do

Good Energy is a pioneering British renewable energy company that focuses on decentralized energy solutions. The company supplies 100% renewable electricity to homes and businesses through long-term power purchase agreements with over 2,500 independent UK generators, ensuring that every customer unit is backed by equivalent renewable production (source: goodenergy.co.uk). Their services extend beyond energy retailing to include the administration of the UK's largest voluntary Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program, which supports over 180,000 microgenerators exporting power (source: goodenergy.co.uk). Additionally, Good Energy is involved in the installation of solar panels, home batteries, heat pumps, and EV charging infrastructure, catering to a growing market of residential and small business customers seeking sustainable energy solutions (source: goodenergy.co.uk). Their innovative platform, Piclo, launched in partnership with Open Utility, facilitates peer-to-peer renewable energy trading, further enhancing their commitment to decentralized energy (source: wikipedia.org). As the only B Corp certified home energy supplier in the UK, Good Energy stands out for its ethical sourcing and support for small-scale solar initiatives (source: bcorporation.net).

Projects & Track Record

Good Energy has a notable history of impactful projects in the renewable energy sector. One of their significant achievements includes the repowering of the Delabole wind farm in Cornwall in 2010, which was the UK's first commercial wind farm, originally established in 1991. This project was financed through an £11.8 million package, showcasing Good Energy's commitment to advancing renewable technologies (source: wikipedia.org). In 2014, the company invested £500,000 in Tidal Lagoon Power for the proposed Swansea Bay tidal scheme, although this project was later deemed unviable by the government in 2018 (source: wikipedia.org). Furthermore, Good Energy pioneered the UK's first homeowner solar export payment scheme in 2004, which significantly influenced the national FIT rollout in 2010, leading to the installation of 850,000 systems totaling 5 GW capacity by 2019 (source: goodenergy.co.uk). While the company has sold its wind and solar generation portfolio in 2022, it continues to source energy from over 2,000-2,500 distributed generators, maintaining a strong presence in the renewable energy landscape (source: wikipedia.org).

Recent Developments

In recent years, Good Energy has achieved significant milestones, including its B Corporation certification in July 2024, making it the only certified UK home energy supplier. This certification reflects the company's commitment to governance, ethics, and transparency, scoring 15.6 in these areas (source: bcorporation.net). The company celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2024, marking a quarter-century of contributions to the renewable energy sector, including administering over 180,000 FIT sites and expanding its installation services for solar panels, batteries, and heat pumps (source: goodenergy.co.uk). Additionally, on 27 January 2025, Good Energy announced an acquisition agreement with Dubai-based Esyasoft for £99.4 million, pending completion, which could further enhance its market position (source: wikipedia.org). The company has also been actively involved in discussions around policy shifts towards clean power by 2030, aligning its operations with national energy goals (source: wikipedia.org).

Working There

Good Energy offers a variety of roles focused on green careers, including positions in energy supply, customer service, installations (solar, batteries, heat pumps, EV charging), and FIT administration. The company emphasizes its commitment to tackling climate change and promotes a culture of purpose-driven work beyond profit (source: goodenergy.co.uk). Most hiring occurs at their headquarters in Chippenham, Wiltshire, with no other office locations specified for recruitment (source: wikipedia.org). Good Energy's culture is characterized by a focus on community engagement and transparency, as evidenced by their B Corp status, which includes mission-locked governance and a commitment to sustainability reporting (source: goodenergy.co.uk).
