2. Good Energy: Who we are
• Climate change threatens the
future habitability of our world
• Climate change
is an energy problem
• Good Energy’s purpose is
to help keep the world habitable
by playing an active role in
solving the energy problem
Good Energy was born in response to climate change

3. Good Energy: Who we are
Good Energy’s work is to promote a renewable
energy future by helping:
• To change how we generate and use energy
• To move from a market that penalises renewables to
one that supports them
• A fundamental shift of power from the big to the small
• To turn the UK energy market upside down

4. To achieve a habitable future the way we make,
manage and use energy needs to change
Future energy Energy today How we get there
o 100% renewably sourced o 97% fossil
o Move from brown to green
technologies
o Properly valued o Undervalued o Value energy more
o Intelligently managed o Wasted o Use it less
o Decentralised and
widely owned
o Centrally owned
o Move from few generators to
many
o Locally sourced
o Mined and made
far away
o Tap into local resources
o Easily understood o Complex and obscure o Make the complex simple
o Stable & secure o Volatile
o Decouple from fossil fuels and
foreign states
o Good for people and the
environment
o Bad for people and
the environment
o Engage people for the benefit of
the environment

7. Micro-generation is at the heart of our mission.
What does this mean for farmers and land managers?
Good Energy already works with nearly a hundred
farmers who supply us with electricity, ranging from the
Ice-cream making Mackie family in Aberdeenshire to
Adam Twine’s community wind farm at Westmill in
Oxfordshire.
Here are some examples!

8. Mackie's Dairy Farm, Aberdeenshire
• The Mackie family use their
three 850kWp wind turbines
to generate electricity to turn
their milk into ice cream.
• Any excess electricity is sold
to Good Energy.
“This makes good sense for our business because out consumers
have told us that it is important for them to know that their
favourite ice cream is made with 100% renewable energy. It also
make good financial sense. We are a rural business which needs
significant power levels and will continue to need more as we
grow,” says Managing Director Mac Mackie.

9. Westmill Community wind farm, Oxfordshire
• Five 1.3MW turbines installed
in January 2008
• Good Energy buys electricity
from three which generate
6400MWh of electricity
annually
• Enough to supply around
2000 Good Energy customers
Funding of the project was raised from a public share issue
and with finance from the Co-op bank. This allowed local
ownership of the site, maximising the social, environmental
and economic benefits to the area.

10. St John's Wells Farm, Aberdeenshire
• Three 800kWp wind
turbines installed.
• Generate approximately
6000MWh of electricity
annually
“My family has owned and worked St John’s Wells Farm for over 100
years and endured the ups and downs of farming. Like all
businesses, it’s crucial that we adapt and diversify. For us, wind
energy
offered a great solution,” says farmer John Sleigh

11. Good Energy: partner of choice for renewable
generators
We work with and buy energy from over 1500 generators,
delivering competitive prices, expert service and advice to:
• Homes, landowners, farmers and
communities producing heat and electricity
using solar power
• Landowners, farmers and communities
producing electricity from small scale
hydropower and wind farms.
• Pioneers using bio-energy and wave power to
produce electricity.
• Good Energy is a “specialist” serving non-
energy professionals.

12. The introduction of the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) in April
2010 made microgeneration more financially viable.
Under the FIT
• you are entitled to a sum
for every unit of electricity
you generate, even if you
use it on site.
• you also earn a sum for the
units that you export.
Good Energy is a voluntary FIT licensee. Once your generator has been
certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) and we have
registered you with Ofgem (the industry regulator), we will claim the FIT you
are entitled to and pay it directly to you.

13. Our FIT proposition for commercial generators
For renewable generators from 30kW to 20MW:
• Half Hourly metering is required for any site
connected to the grid larger than 30kW
• A price will be offered that includes:
• exported electricity based on the
prevailing market rate
• LEC price
• Embedded Benefits
• Other benefits such as Triad, REGOs
• Good Energy act as FiT Administrator to
submit data to OFGEM and receive payments
on behalf of the generator
• Contract length for the power of up to 10
years

14. What can you expect to earn from your solar PV
installation?
FIT Payment £293 per MWh

15. Other Options – the Mackies Option
• The “Mackies” example – if you have a
significant electrical load close by you
can use the power “on-site” supplying
yourselves with power at a lower cost
and exporting the net position to the
grid
• This works in exactly the same way as
a straight grid connected generator,
except the pricing of the power takes
into account the usage on site
• The route offers significant savings as
network charges and other industry
costs are avoided

16. How to get a quotation?
• All you need is:
– Type of technology
– Size of proposed installation
– Metering to be installed
– Site address
– Connection details (if possible)
– MPAN (metering number – if
possible)
– Proposed usage

17. Good Energy and independent generation
• Good Energy has pioneered buying
power from micro-generators
• This is because we believe there is a
better way to deliver energy in the UK
• This is why we have spent the best
part of 10 years making sure
renewable energy is at the core of the
UK energy policy
• Because we believe this is the future
• One in 20 of our customers is also a
generator – we hope the rest of
Britain will catch up soon!

18. Good Energy is helping people like you harness
renewable energy
