About Good Energy

Good Energy is a small, independent supplier committed to tackling climate change by making homes and business across the nation part of a sustainable nexus with its clean energy supply.

The supplier paved the way for a green, clean energy alternative when, at the turn of the millennium, it became the first retail energy company - in an industry dominated by fossil fuels - to supply 100% renewable electricity to households in the UK.

To date, Good Energy has amassed over 200,000 customers, to which it supplies clean electricity largely from its own wind and solar farms in England and Wales, and with support from over 1,600 independent generators across the UK.

Tariffs and prices

  1. Good to Fix (Fixed)
  2. SVT Standard (Flexible)
  3. EV4 Electric Vehicle (Fixed)

1. Good to Fix tariff

Good Energy’s Good to Fix tariff is a fixed-rate, fixed-term supply available on a 24 month contract. With this tariff, the price you pay per unit of electricity and/or gas will remain the same throughout the duration of your contract term.

You pay by direct debit and there are no exit fees for early termination of your contract.

2. SVT Standard tariff

‘Flexible duration’ is the supplier’s standard variable rate tariff. You can expect to see the price you pay per unit rate of gas and electricity fluctuate at any time in response to wholesale energy market prices.

Customers on this tariff will receive a month’s notice in advance of any change in tariff prices.

3. EV4 Electric Vehicle tariff

Good Energy brings good news for electric car owners. The EV4 Electric Vehicle tariff offers a special unit rate for EV charging, is available on a fixed-rate, fixed-term contract, and has an Economy 7 variant for customers with Economy 7 meters.

Business Energy

Good Energy provides a range of renewable energy options for small, medium and large businesses. The supplier offers:

  1. Fixed and standard tariffs
  2. Options for buying energy on the wholesale market
  3. Business electric-vehicle charging solutions
  4. Feed-in tariffs to help businesses make money from the renewable energy that they generate.

100% renewable fuel mix

Good Energy's biggest selling point is that it uses 100% renewable energy, which is sourced from over 1,600 independent generators, peer-to-peer energy sharing through feed-in tariffs, and its own generation sites.

In total, 53.9% of Good Energy’s electricity supply comes from wind, 28.4% from biogeneration, 13.4% from solar power, and 4.3% from hydro power.

Meter readings and paying your bill

The most common way to pay your Good Energy bills is by Direct Debit. Once set up, the supplier will send you confirmation of the amount and date that the first Direct Debit payment will be collected. You will be notified 10 working days in advance of your account being debited.

Meter readings

Gas and electricity meters help you keep tabs on your energy usage and the amount you pay for your supply. We recommend that you submit a meter reading about one week before your bill is due in order to get the most accurate bills possible.

Keep in mind that Good Energy provides a meter reading service only twice a year, where meter readers visit your home. This means that at all other times, your usage is estimated.

The good thing is, Good Energy has made submitting your meter reading easy. You can do so:

  1. Over the phone by calling 0800 254 0000.
  2. Through your online account.
  3. Via the Good Energy app or website.

Warm Home Discount

Good Energy customers do not qualify for the Warm Home Discount scheme, as it supplies energy to less than 250,000 customers.

If you want to benefit from the £140 rebate off your winter energy bills, you will need switch to a supplier that offers the scheme.
