Good Friends: Good Energy and Friends of the Earth join forces on renewable energy

15th September 2008

Good Energy will be advocating the campaigns Friends of the Earth embark on in the coming months and will donate £30 to the charity for every customer who mentions Friends of the Earth when they sign up.

Good Energy has teamed up with influential campaigning organisation Friends of the Earth in the fight against climate change.

Good Energy buys 100 per cent renewable electricity, and by offering some of the best tariffs for small-scale electricity generation, gives valuable financial support to households and businesses that produce their own renewable energy. Switching to electricity supplied by Good Energy gives people the opportunity to combat climate change by increasing demand for electricity from renewable sources. Good Energy was last month rated the best company in the sector in a Concerned Consumer survey funded by The Times.

Friends of the Earth harnesses people power to change politics, most recently demonstrated
by its success with The Big Ask - the campaign for a strong climate change Bill, which will
become law by the end of 2008. Now the green group is encouraging the public to write to
their MP and demand that Gordon Brown delivers on his promise to generate 15 per cent of
our energy from UK renewable sources - such as the sun, wind, waves and tides - by 2020.

Nick Rau, Friends of the Earth’s renewable energy campaigner, said: “Friends of the Earth is
working in partnership with Good Energy because it raises awareness of climate change and
provides valuable financial support for renewable energy projects. This helps Friends of the
Earth’s goal to wean the Government off its addiction to dirty coal, oil and gas and pave the
way for a cleaner and greener future.”

Juliet Davenport, CEO and founder of Good Energy, said: “Good Energy and Friends of the
Earth are working towards a similar goal - a sustainable world where people are concerned
about what is happening around them and to the environment. This powerful new partnership
will add weight to the fight for more renewables, and Good Energy is very pleased to be able
to work with such an influential organisation during this critical time for the future of energy in
the UK.”
