We believe power should come from people you’d happily have a cup of tea with.

That’s why every unit of our 100% renewable electricity is backed by our incredible community of independent producers – over 3,300 people generating power in ways that work with nature, not against it.

Independent businesses, non profits and local communities, spread all over Britain, that are all doing their bit to make the world a cleaner, greener place.

How does our renewable energy supply work?

  • 1 / 3

    Step 1

    Over 3,300 independent producers across the UK generate clean power from solar, wind, hydro and other renewable sources.
  • 2 / 3

    Step 2

    Whatever electricity our customers use, we ensure the equivalent has been generated renewably and bought from a real UK producer.
  • 3 / 3

    Step 3

    You can charge your EV, put the kettle on, and run the washing machine – all with peace of mind that you’re supporting homegrown renewables, every hour of every day.

What makes Good Energy 100% renewable electricity different?

#1 for British-made renewable electricity ​

Unlike most renewable suppliers who average out renewable matching across the year, Good Energy matches more of your actual electricity usage against real generator output every 30 minutes*.

That’s better than any other UK supplier.

Why choose 100% renewable electricity?

1. Reduce your carbon footprint

By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, you’re making a positive impact every time you switch something on.

2. Stop buying greenwashed energy

Our clear, transparent sourcing means you’re getting exactly what you pay for – real renewable power, not just the idea of it.

3. Support new renewable projects

By increasing demand for renewable power, you’re helping fund and grow more clean energy generation across the UK.

4. Strengthen UK energy independence

By backing energy produced in the UK, you’re helping reduce reliance on imported fuels. That helps protect energy prices long-term.

5. Complete peace of mind

You can feel confident your energy choice truly reflects your values, and that your home is contributing to a cleaner, greener future.

100% renewable electricity FAQs

Renewable energy comes from natural sources like the sun, wind, and water that won’t run out, and it’s used to power our homes, heat water, and fuel transport. The aim is to replace fossil fuels with cleaner energy, make homes more efficient, and support a more sustainable, low-carbon future.

Learn more: What is renewable energy?

 

Renewable energy is generated without burning fossil fuels, which means significantly lower carbon emissions and less impact on the climate. It also doesn’t rely on finite resources or volatile global fuel markets.

Good Energy’s renewable electricity supply stands out because it’s genuinely sourced from real renewable generators, not just balanced on paper. We buy power directly from a large network of independent UK wind, solar, hydro and bioenergy producers and match what customers use with the same amount of renewable electricity added to the grid. What’s more, we’re independently ranked #1 for doing this better than any other supplier.

This means you can be sure your energy supports local, community-based renewable projects, rather than relying mainly on certificates or offsets that some other suppliers use. In short, we support a more stable, homegrown energy system – one that’s built for the long term, with planet and people at the heart of our mission.

 

They’re a large community of over 3,300 independent producers across Britain – from farmers harvesting solar power, to specialists operating hydro systems on rivers and streams. Together, this network forms the backbone of our supply. Instead of energy coming from a handful of large, offshore power stations – like some other renewable suppliers use – our customers are contributing to a more transparent and fair energy system.

Independent producers play a key role in building a more diverse and resilient energy system. Because our producers are spread across thousands of sites, it reduces reliance on large, centralised infrastructure and imported fuels. By working directly with these people, we help bring more renewable projects into the system – supporting growth in homegrown renewable energy.

An energy system built on renewable generation is less exposed to global fuel prices and supply disruptions. By sourcing electricity from thousands of independent producers across Britain, it becomes more resilient, more flexible, and better suited to future demand. It also supports the long-term transition away from fossil fuels, helping create a system that’s cleaner, more secure, and more in tune with the natural world.
