About Good Energy

Founded in 1999, Good Energy is one of the UK’s original renewable electricity suppliers. The company’s mission is to help homes and communities transition to clean power by buying electricity directly from British renewable generators and matching customers’ usage with 100% renewable supply. Good Energy is licensed by Ofgem to supply domestic energy in Great Britain.

Tariffs & options

Good Energy’s range evolves with market conditions and Ofgem’s price cap. You can typically expect:

• Standard Variable plans that move in line with the price cap.
• Fixed-term contracts for price certainty over 12–24 months (availability varies).
• Economy 7 / multi-rate options for households with night storage heating or off-peak usage patterns.
• Green gas options often including a portion of biomethane and certified carbon balancing for the remainder. The exact mix and methodology are disclosed in the supplier’s environmental reporting.

Smart meters with Good Energy

Good Energy supports SMETS2 smart meters for accurate reads and near real-time insights. Benefits include:

• No more manual meter readings with automatic reads.
• Accurate bills based on actual usage.
• Better visibility of consumption to help reduce waste.

Installation schedules depend on engineer availability and your meter/location. If you already have a SMETS2 meter, it should remain smart when you switch.

Solar homes: Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)

If you generate electricity at home (for example, with rooftop solar), Good Energy offers SEG export tariffs that pay you for the excess you export to the grid. Export rates, metering requirements and eligibility criteria apply.

• Available to microgenerators with qualifying MCS certification.
• A smart/export-capable meter is typically required.
• Export-only contract separate from your import tariff, so you can mix and match.
