By exporting electricity, you can also earn additional revenue via a power purchase agreement (PPA).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Good Energy, we work with renewable generators of all sizes: from 30GW offshore wind generators to 30kW Smart Gen customers. We want to make it simple for all of those generators to start earning money from the energy they export as quickly as possible.  That\u2019s why we have put together this six step guide to earning an income from your renewable generation assets, including how to navigate getting a PPA with an energy supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Have your renewable generation assets installed and commissioned<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step to earning money from your renewable generation assets, is to have them installed and commissioned, if you haven\u2019t already. The majority of the generation sites we work with are solar, and we also work with hundreds of wind, hydro and AD generators across the country too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How can we support you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you need help deciding whether generating renewable power is the right option for you? Read our free guide \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/GE21-064-On-site-Gen-vs-Grid-whitepaper-Jan-23.pdf\">onsite renewable generation or renewable energy from the grid.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good Energy installs commercial solar panels, with business solar installations custom designed to meet your energy needs. Targeting rapid return on investment and installing premium hardware protected by long-term warranties, Good Energy Solar systems are designed to help you cut your carbon emissions and energy costs for decades to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignwide is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-63375db1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is--inner-block\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/commercial-solar-installation\/\">Explore commercial solar installation services<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or would like to use these energy services, by emailing <a href=\"mailto:PPA@goodenergy.co.uk\">PPA@goodenergy.co.uk<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/B2B-Commercial_Riverford_sw_cc-20210511-2845x1280-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Solar panels on the roof of a large farm building \/ office facility\" class=\"wp-image-1303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/B2B-Commercial_Riverford_sw_cc-20210511-2845x1280-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/B2B-Commercial_Riverford_sw_cc-20210511-2845x1280-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/B2B-Commercial_Riverford_sw_cc-20210511-2845x1280-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/B2B-Commercial_Riverford_sw_cc-20210511-2845x1280-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Contact your Distribution Network Operator (DNO) to get your export MPAN<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second step is to contact your local DNO to get an export MPAN (Meter Point Administration Number). Your export MPAN is your unique connection to the grid that enables us to monitor and pay you for the electricity you export.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UK is mostly operated by eight DNOs which are split by region, however there are a number of independent DNOs that service newer parts of the network. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energynetworks.org\/customers\/find-my-network-operator\">find out who your local DNO is here<\/a> by typing your postcode into the search bar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How can we support you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are unsure, we can help you to identify your local DNO and advise how to get in touch with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Get a Meter Operator (MOP) and contract for export<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third step is to get a Meter Operator (MOP) contract in place for export, and a DCDA in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MOP contracts cover the supply and maintenance of electricity meters.&nbsp;You will already have a Meter Operator contract in place for the electricity that you import from the grid. Your import and export MOP must match, so you can either contact your import MOP to ask them to also cover your export; or you can find a new MOP for both <a href=\"https:\/\/meteroperators.org.uk\/members\/#:~:text=Members%201%20AES%20Smart%20Metering%20Ltd%202%20British,Electricity%208%20Lowri%20Beck%20Services%20Ltd%20More%20items\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DCDA is another contract that you need to get in place (although we can organise this on your behalf), and these roles are often covered by the same company. The Data Collector retrieves the meter readings from your sites on a half-hourly basis, and the Data Aggregator aggregates it to meet industry standards so it is ready to share with your supplier. This step is important as it ensures your data follows industry procedures and that you get accurate payments for your power. The DCDA contract may be included within your MOP agreement, or this is something we can do on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How can we support you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can appoint our preferred DCDA agent on your behalf, but please do let us know if you have this service included in your Meter Operator contract so we can ensure the correct agents are appointed straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Confetti-Hydro-Wyke-Manor_20210623-0176x1280-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Hydro turbine from above\" class=\"wp-image-1475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Confetti-Hydro-Wyke-Manor_20210623-0176x1280-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Confetti-Hydro-Wyke-Manor_20210623-0176x1280-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Confetti-Hydro-Wyke-Manor_20210623-0176x1280-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/Confetti-Hydro-Wyke-Manor_20210623-0176x1280-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Contact Good Energy for a quote<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have your Export MPAN and your MOP and DCDA contracts in place, the next step is to contact a PPA provider, like Good Energy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/get-a-quote\/\">for a quote<\/a>. For over 20 years, we\u2019ve worked hard to provide generators with a friendly expert service; and to help them to get paid a fair rate for their electricity. We currently work with over 1700 independent generators across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our requirement is that your site should be exporting at least 30kW, although this does vary based on the technology you have installed. If your export capacity falls below this, please get in touch by emailing us on <a href=\"mailto:PPA@goodenergy.co.uk\">PPA@goodenergy.co.uk<\/a> and we can find the right export tariff for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve agreed to the terms and signed your Smart Gen or PPA Contract, your next step will be to complete our registration form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How can we support you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have reviewed your quote and signed and returned your contract, we will onboard your export supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is--inner-block\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/get-a-quote\/\">Get a PPA quote today<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Your meter will be reprogrammed or a new export meter installed<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have a PPA quote in place, your Meter Operator will advise if your existing import meter can be re-programmed to send your export readings automatically \u2013 which is normally the case; or if you need a new export meter to be installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How can we support you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good Energy will organise your meter reprogramming or new meter installation with industry partners \u2013 there is no action for you at this stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/energy-generation_delabole-20200917_037-x1280-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Wind farm at night\" class=\"wp-image-1476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/energy-generation_delabole-20200917_037-x1280-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/energy-generation_delabole-20200917_037-x1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/energy-generation_delabole-20200917_037-x1280-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.goodenergy.co.uk\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/energy-generation_delabole-20200917_037-x1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.
