Launch of new smart export tariff

Good Energy (AIM:GOOD), the pioneering clean energy company, is pleased to announce that it has launched a new smart export tariff for households with solar panels. This latest milestone is in line with Good Energy's strategy to expand its decentralised energy services offering.

The 'Power for Good' tariff will pay customers 10p per kWh, a leading rate for a variable export tariff which can help the typical solar-powered home generate around £150 per year for the energy they share.

The tariff has been launched to complement and accelerate Good Energy's solar installation rollout strategy as more households look to become renewable generators. As previously announced, Good Energy has identified a key target segment of over 250,000 households considering a solar installation by 2026. In 2022, UK installations doubled to over 130,000, with high energy prices driving increased interest in households generating their own power. It is a rapidly growing market in which the Company, as a trusted green pioneer with over 20 years as a renewable electricity supplier and a legacy that includes being the first UK company to pay households for the solar energy they generate, is well positioned to become a market leader.

In February, the Company announced that it has commenced domestic rooftop solar installation, completing its first installation just two months after the acquisition of Igloo Works in December 2022.

The 'Power for Good' tariff comes after the introduction of a smart export for the Company's Feed-in Tariff (FiT) customers. As the largest voluntary administrator of the Feed-in Tariff and the second largest overall, with over 180,000 customers to whom it processed over £224m worth of payments in 2021/22, Good Energy continues to play a leading role in the future potential of the solar energy industry.

Nigel Pocklington, CEO of Good Energy, said: "Solar is a key pillar of our green energy services strategy and today's announcement marks another significant milestone in our journey towards being the go-to provider and one-stop-shop for solar power generation and leading export tariff prices. It is a pleasing development which follows swiftly on the back of our first solar installation, and we expect it to drive more households to switch to solar.

"Following a year of record energy prices, we expect the growing interest in solar to continue at a significant rate as the Government, together with businesses and consumers, focus on building long-term renewable energy solutions. We will continue to drive interest and expand our customer base with competitive leading export tariffs, financing and bundling to make cutting carbon cost-effective and accessible for all."
