Our Development Charter
Good Energy, as an ethical mission-led company and a responsible developer, is committed to taking the following approach to developing new renewable energy sites through its Development Charter:
- To engaging fully and openly with those communities closest to any proposed site and, where possible, considering alternative suggestions for the size, layout and presentation of that site.
- To offer a discounted, local electricity tariff to those households closest to any onshore wind farm we develop that is over 4MW in capacity. The local tariff will be 20% cheaper than Good Energy’s standard tariff. If the site performs well, an additional discount may be offered to reflect that.
- To ensuring that any site we develop acts as a vehicle for community investment, whether it be through independently administered community investment funds, direct investment from Good Energy or a combination of both.
- To exploring opportunities to deliver community ownership of the sites we develop so that the greatest possible number of people are able to benefit from that development.
- Around all of our projects we will look to develop exciting bio-diversity action plans to create, enhance an improve habitats, restoring ecosystems and allowing wildlife to thrive for years to come.
