Good Energy is pleased to announce it is now working with over 500 independent renewable generators.

Good Energy works with wind, wave, hydro, solar and bio-energy generators of all shapes and sizes, paying them for the energy they produce.

Good Energy’s latest innovation in microgeneration is Good Energy HotROCs, the UK’s first Renewable Heat Incentive that pays domestic solar generators money for the heat energy they produce.

“We are privileged to be working with so many of the UK’s independent renewable generators”, said Juliet Davenport, Good Energy’s Chief Executive. “As a small company, we are in a strong position to lead with innovation. With Good Energy’s HomeGen and HotROC schemes this is exactly what we are doing.”

“It is thanks to our customers and generators who tell us the products they want and the support they need that allows us to stand with confidence as we drive innovation and push the political agenda for renewable energy in the UK.”

Good Energy is launching Good Energy HotROCs, the UK’s first renewable heat incentivethat pays domestic solar generators money for the heat energy they produce.

As part of this scheme, Good Energy has launched a trial gas product – offered only as a dual fuel tariff to customers. Good Energy Gas charges a small premium which helps to fund the reward paid to customers on the HotROCs scheme. Good Energy hope this groundbreaking scheme will help the UK reduce its dependence on gas, boost growth in microgeneration and  increase support for renewable electricity.

Tim and Fiona Start are always working on reducing their carbon footprint. They grow their own vegetables, buy local produce, and are active recyclers. For them, having already installed Solar PV which generates electricity, renewable heat technology in the form of a solar thermal panel was the next positive step.

This month they signed up to the Good Energy HotROCs scheme: “This is a great innovation and unique to Good Energy. It is another way to help us reduce our bills and improve the return on investment of our solar panels. It will help boost micro-generation in the UK and reduce the country’s carbon emissions.”

Juliet Davenport, Good Energy’s Chief Executive is proud of the company’s latest innovation. “I am delighted that Good Energy is leading the way with the first Renewable Heat Incentive in the UK. HotROCs is a simple effective reward and, like our pioneering work that supports small scale electricity generators, we are confident it will succeed and be copied by other UK energy suppliers. The launch of Good Energy HotROCs is a vital step in delivering the UK a renewable heat future.”

Good Energy is helping people to give green this Christmas by launching a new range of Christmas hampers packed full of energy saving goods.      

Every year at Christmas, people send thousands of hampers to friends and families, but most of these contain food and fine wines. In an attempt to raise environmental awareness, Good Energy decided it was time to change the face of the Christmas hamper world.

The eco-hampers are decorated with materials made from recycled Christmas trees and have been created by the company as a message for people to try to go green in the New Year. Juliet Davenport, CEO and founder of Good Energy, said: “the Good Energy Shop was launched to help people reduce their carbon footprint through top of the range energy efficient products – and we wanted this to continue into the festive period. Christmas can be a wasteful time, so we wanted to provide a positive alternative. By giving someone one of these hampers as a present, you can finally have a Christmas with a conscience and save money for years to come.” 

Available in the range are four very different and stylish eco-hampers that cater for adults, children, students and the entire family. To see the whole collection, visit: www.goodenergyshop.co.uk

The CEO of Good Energy has been invited to hold a lecture to address the complexities around renewable energy tariffs.

Juliet Davenport, CEO and founder of Good Energy, has been invited to hold a lecture on “Green Tariffs versus Green Wash” on Monday, 1st December at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London.

The lecture will explain what a “green tariff” is; how consumers can ensure they are buying 100% renewable electricity, and the difference it can make to the total installed capacity of renewable generation.

Juliet Davenport said: “If the UK is to tackle the problems of climate change, then encouraging the uptake of renewable energy by households and business is vital. While renewable energy tariffs are one way of achieving this, I will address questions on how the system should be structured for maximum renewable energy uptake.”

During the lecture, Juliet will address the following issues:

• Do we really know what is in our electricity supply? Does your supplier offer a truly green tariff or merely green wash?
• How can we be encouraged to produce our own electricity? Who would buy it?
• Should we rely on the Government’s proposed feed-in-tariffs or will this encourage us to waste the energy we produce?
• If we switch to renewable providers what can we do about gas supply? And, if such a large amount of our energy, and emissions, is lost as heat, is it possible to devise a renewable heat incentive?

As a pioneer in the renewable energy sector, Good Energy has already taken the lead with feed-in- tariffs, 100% renewable electricity supply, and innovative renewable heat incentives.

The lecture is free to attend and commences at 18:30pm. Please visit http://events.imeche.org/ for more information.

Good Energy - the UK’s leading supplier of electricity from 100% renewable sources - is launching a trial of domestic gas supply tariffs.

Pioneering Renewable Heat Incentive Offered to Reduce Gas Dependence

The launch comes after research showed that the majority of Good Energy’s electricity customers would also prefer to buy their gas from Good Energy rather than other suppliers.

In conjunction with the gas offering, Good Energy will be launching a pioneering Renewable Heat
Incentive - available to all new gas customers - to reward those generating their own heat from
renewable sources and thereby reducing their use of both gas and electricity.

Juliet Davenport, founder and CEO of Good Energy said: “We have tested our gas systems with a small
existing customer base and are now trialling a gas tariff on broker sites before we make a full launch to
existing and new customers in 2009.

After eight years passionately promoting 100% renewable energy, we couldn’t just launch a standard gas
product. We had to find a way to make it support our mission, but obviously we wanted to respond to our
customer feedback.

We realised that there was a clear benefit to launching gas - we would attract more customers to the
100% electricity tariff and therefore encourage growth of renewable generation around the UK.

So, working with our campaign partners, we have decided that the most practical and effective option is to
use revenues from the gas business to support and reward those customers who are generating their
own heat from renewable sources and thereby reducing their use of gas and electricity.

Renewable heat sounds easy, but no-one’s done it yet in the UK. This is where Good Energy can make a
big difference. We are going to start with solar thermal and simultaneously launch a research project to
expand the scheme and create a benchmark for the industry and for Government. Watch this space!”
As a gas supplier ‘inside’ the industry, Good Energy will be well positioned to campaign actively for
renewable heat in the UK and for incentives to reduce gas usage.

Initially the initiative will cover solar-thermal - the most popular method of renewable heat generation in
the UK and the easiest to manage. Good Energy will simultaneously fund practical research to improve
and expand the scheme to include heat pumps, biomass and micro-CHP.

By running an initiative where customers using renewable heat are rewarded, Good Energy will show
leadership to the Government and industry on how to meet renewable heat targets.

The initiative is open both to households who already have solar thermal installed and those buying and
installing new systems.

On 11th November, Good Energy won ‘Greenest Energy Supplier’ at the prestigious national Sustainable Housing Awards.

The company beat other green suppliers, including Ecotricity,
Green Energy and Energy4All, to the title due to their outstanding commitment to sustainable
housing - including their award-winning home generation scheme.

The award comes just months after the Concerned Consumer Survey (2008) rated Good
Energy top of the list as the preferred green electricity supplier in the UK.

On winning the award, Juliet Davenport, CEO and Founder of the company, said: “We are
delighted to have been voted the ‘greenest energy supplier’ in the UK. At present, 30% of the
country’s carbon emissions come from our homes, and this is where we provide solutions. By
offering 100% renewable electricity and schemes rewarding renewable generators - both on
heat and electricity, we are playing an active role in helping reduce emissions related to
energy use at home, and it is fantastic that we have been recognised in this area.”

To celebrate Energy Saving Week Good Energy have developed a three step plan known as the ‘three M’s’ to help people live an energy efficient, low carbon lifestyle.

Waste not, want not: three critical ways to save money and the planet

It’s Energy Saving Week (20th to 26th October), and we all need to be thinking about how we
can cut the carbon – and save some money while we are at it. Good Energy – the UK’s
leading supplier of 100% renewable electricity – have developed a three step plan known as
the ‘three M’s’ to help people live an energy efficient, low carbon lifestyle:

Step 1: Monitor – The first step is to monitor your present behaviour. The best way to do this
is by investing in an energy monitor like the Wattson or the Eco-eye. Bridget Strawbridge of
BBC2’s It’s Not Easy Being Green agrees that monitors are the perfect place to start: “Since
we first started using our energy monitor a couple of years ago, we have without doubt
reduced our electricity consumption considerably.” To stress the importance of Energy
Saving Week, Good Energy is offering a 10% discount on all of their energy monitors on their
online shop (www.goodenergyshop.co.uk) in a campaign to help people on the way.

WARNING: energy monitoring can be addictive!

Rick Edwards, T4 presenter, said on his Wattson: “It’s trapped me in a cycle: I check the reading, I hurry around my flat, desperately searching for electrical things to turn off, I return to the Wattson, checking the reading to see how much I’ve reduced my usage…I can’t wait to get my next electricity bill. It’s going to be really, really low.”

Step 2: Modify – Small actions can have big effects. Switching plugs off at the socket (which
can save you £45 per year), cycling to work, and making sure your home is kitted out with
energy saving devices all help the environment and take the strain off of your wallet. A
Heatkeeper radiator pack from the Good Energy Shop can reduce your heating costs by up to
30%, whilst a Tefal Quickcup (almost like a kettle) uses a third less energy than a standard kettle. Even down to the level of the lightbulb, every action counts – energy efficient bulbs
provide you with 5 hours more light for the same price as one hour with a standard bulb, and
save you around £100 in their lifespan.

Step 3: Minimise – Now you have changed your habits, your home and lifestyle should be
well on its way to becoming truly energy efficient and low carbon. But there is one last and
important step to take to reduce your carbon footprint. Signing up to renewable electricity
supplier Good Energy can help you reduce your carbon footprint by up to a third – an
important part of shaping our world for an eco-friendly, energy safe future. If you sign up to
Good Energy this week quoting Good Energy Shop, you will also receive a free Eco-eye Mini
energy monitor. Visit the Good Energy Shop to find out more.

Tim Land, a Good Energy customer from Bristol, is just one person who has slashed the price
of his utility bills and his footprint: “In the financial climate at the moment, it is more important
than ever to be more energy efficient. I’ve saved £42 in 12 months already by simply
changing the halogen spotlight bulbs in my kitchen. It’s an easy step to take, it saves
you money, and you get to fight climate change at the same time – it’s something to be
proud of.”

From October, through their market leading Home Generation Scheme, Good Energy will pay customers generating their own electricity 10 pence for every unit they produce.

From October, through their market leading Home Generation Scheme, Good Energy - the
UK’s only 100% renewable electricity supplier* - will pay customers generating their own
electricity 10 pence for every unit they produce. This is up from the 9 pence rate that has been
running since last year, and is now the highest payback tariff of any supplier for total
generation. Good Energy’s Home Generation scheme differs from many other schemes by
paying customers for the units they use and not just those units they feed into the grid. There
is no requirement for customers to pay for a separate export meter.
Juliet Davenport, Chief Executive of Good Energy stated why the company is increasing the
payback tariff on the scheme. “Good Energy believes that climate change is the biggest
challenge we face as a society. Currently, 30% of the UK’s carbon emissions come from
our homes, and this is where we need solutions. Home owners producing their own
wind, solar and wood energy are providing this solution, and Good Energy is actively
supporting them with the highest payment for electricity generated at home. In addition
to our campaigning work, it is this sort of initiative that our 100% renewable electricity
customers are supporting by switching to Good Energy.”
As well as encouraging individuals to become microgenerators, the improved scheme will
provide valuable support to existing generators. Roots and Shoots is a charity, based in London,
that help disadvantaged young people prepare for the world of work in the Southwark area. The
organisation joined the Good Energy Home Generation scheme this year and have an ecobuilding
encompassing an array of solar panels. On the tariff change, founder of the
organisation, Linda Phillips, commented: “Roots and Shoots have installed solar panels and
made our building as green as possible as part of our commitment to the environment -
something we always aim to educate our students about. This announcement by Good
Energy will bring us an even greater return on our investment, and will help us free
more funds for our work - which is brilliant news. We hope that successful schemes
like Good Energy’s Home Generation will encourage lots more people to invest in a
safer energy future by generating their own power.”
The recent launch of the Good Energy Shop, stocking generation and energy efficiency
products has confirmed that there is huge interest from homeowners wanting to invest in home
generation and Good Energy is best placed to support that investment with its attractive Home
Generation tariff.

One London family were the lucky winners of a stylish Wattson energy monitor after beating 200 other entrants in a competition launched at the Innocent Fete in August.

The Parana-Hetty family of Bethnal Green in East London received their prize of a stylish
Wattson energy monitor after winning a competition launched at the innocent Village Fete in
August.

Over 200 people entered the competition, and the Parana-Hetty’s were thrilled with their new
gadget. The Wattson from DIY Kyoto monitors electricity usage in both pounds and watts,
allowing owners to determine how much they are spending and enable them to reduce their
energy bills. It glows in an array of different colours, making it a vibrant addition to any home,
and can also be attached to a computer where a program called ‘holmes’ downloads

information about how much energy is being used, when, how much, and even sets goals on
how to save more energy.

On receiving the Wattson delivered by DIY Kyoto themselves, Anthony, father of two-year-old
Magnus and husband to Christine, exclaimed: “Thanks for the prize. It will help us take much
more care of our energy usage.”

Anthony lives in a specially designed eco build in London’s Adelaide Wharf, but since installing
the Wattson, he has been making sure his lifestyle is even more energy efficient. He recently
commented: “Checking my new gadget has become addictive. The Wattson has really allowed
me to monitor exactly where electricity wastage comes from in my home - which I discovered
is mainly from my cooker, dishwasher and washing machine. It is a very welcome addition to
our home and I think every household should invest in one.”

The Wattson and an array of other alternative energy monitors are available to buy on the
Good Energy Shop (www.goodenergyshop.co.uk) now.
