Notes to editors:

Good Energy Group plc is a vertically integrated utility, supplying 100 per cent. renewable electricity to approximately 34,000 domestic and commercial customers, gas to approximately 10,500 domestic customers and supports a growing community of approximately 52,000 independent green power generators across the UK. Good Energy is a licensed electricity supplier. Good Energy supplies the national electricity grid with an equivalent amount of renewable energy to match its customers' demands over the course of a 12 month period.

The Group also has a renewable electricity generation business which includes a 9.2MW operational wind farm in Cornwall, an 8.2MW wind site in construction in Hampole, Yorkshire, two smaller sites totalling 6MW in planning, and a solar park development pipeline of over 175MW, in order to support the ongoing growth of the supply side of the business.

The Group was founded in May 2000, to lower UK carbon emissions by developing and distributing renewable electricity within the UK. The Group's values were developed by its founders in the late 1990s. It was their belief that climate change was a reality and its effects were likely to be increasingly harmful. Most importantly, they believed that the most effective way of promoting climate change solutions would be through a commercial enterprise returning value to its shareholders. One of the Group's key purposes is therefore to provide individuals and companies in the UK with a means by which they can reduce their contribution to the causes of climate change through selecting the Group to be their energy supplier.

GOOD ENERGY GROUP PLC

PROPOSED PLACING AND OPEN OFFER

AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

1. Background to and reasons for the Capital Raising

Good Energy was originally funded by a combination of investment from the management and board, and then during 2002-2007 by three EIS offerings to the Company's customer base, raising a total of £2.7 million. This early stage investment allowed the Company to build up its customer base, purchase the original 4 MW Delabole wind farm, providing at the time around 25 per cent. of the Company's electricity requirement, and invest in the necessary systems to place the Company on a solid operational platform. During this period the Company sold power to customers at around a 10 per cent. premium to the average market price, taking on predominantly early adopter type consumers who were prepared to pay the premium for the commitment to a green energy utility.

In 2008, the market place changed, and as a result of the global downturn, the customer elasticity of price to switch to Good Energy changed, resulting in customers being less prepared to pay a premium for 100 per cent. renewable electricity. The Company updated its strategy and put in place three key areas of work to be able to improve the price proposition of the Company:

·; Investing in Delabole to expand it from a 4 MW site producing 10,000 MWh per year to a 9.2 MW site producing 25,000 MWh per year. The power delivered by this site was bought by the Company and the ability to keep the trading margins in-house Good Energy reduced its cost of power purchase. In 2012, the Company's Delabole site provided over 16 per cent. of customers' requirements;

·; Investing in improvements in the forecasting systems developing, in conjunction with an external provider, a bespoke generation forecasting system based on weather feeds from across the country, helping to improve the forecasts for all the generators Good Energy buys power from; and

·; Investing in improvements to various IT systems, including the pre-cursor to the current Feed-in Tariff (small generator) system, to improve the Company's cost to serve. This enabled us to sign up and administer effectively the 52,000 FIT green electricity generators in the UK.

These investments have enabled the Company to underpin margins, improve the competitiveness of its offerings and to use its strong platform to grow the business. In 2012, the total customer base including gas, electricity and FIT customers grew by 80 per cent. and revenues grew around 30 per cent., with a 30 per cent. increase in PBT.

In order to be able to maintain momentum, as part of its Admission to trading on AIM, the Company raised £4 million from institutional investors in July 2012 to support its on-going strategy of:

·; Investing in a pipeline of renewable energy power projects to enable the Company to purchase power from its own sites and underpin the forward power purchasing of the Company;

·; Investing in further improvements in trading systems and procedures to enable the Company to improve margins through improved granularity of trading; and

·; Investing in marketing and brand awareness for the development of new partnerships with national membership organisations and increasing local and national advertising.

The expansion of the development team has been with a focus on providing resource to wind power and solar power projects that are most likely to receive planning consent. The Company now has 50MW in planning and a further 50MW in the final stage of preparation for planning submission across 10 sites.

The investment in the trading systems has resulted in the roll out of a new trading strategy from March 2013. The systems are now fully operational, and the improved ability to trade at a more granular level offered by the new systems appears to be delivering the results which the Board expected, with the potential for further improvements to come.

The business delivered overall growth of 13 per cent. in electricity customers in 2012. The Company can see this improved rate of growth continuing in 2013 and have been investing in new partnerships including National Trust and Soil Association to deliver this. The Board are also considering a new strategy on pricing in light of the new regulations on Retail Market Review, including a suite of payment products for customers, to better reflect their cost to serve. This is underpinned by the planned implementation of a new CRM system to allow us to manage these changes and further support ongoing improvements in cost to serve.

The Company is now looking to raise a further £1.8 million through a firm placing, and up to £2 million through an open offer, to be able to build out the first stage of the development portfolio of solar assets which are in planning at present.

1.1 Generation Portfolio

The Company is targeting a generation portfolio capacity of 110MW by 2016, predominantly through wind and solar, to support customer growth and is targeting 50 per cent. of electricity supply from

generating assets owned by Good Energy.

1.2 Solar & wind development background

Each solar project has a development timeline from site selection through to final construction of approximately 11 months whilst each wind project has a development timeline from site identification through to commissioning of up to 44 months.

A solar project has a total estimated build cost of £1 million per MW and produces around 960 MWh per MW per year, with an estimated levered IRR of 9-12 per cent. The build cost includes all financing, planning and legal costs as well as panel and construction costs.

Wind has a total estimated build cost of £1.5 million per MW and produces around 2,600 MWh per year per MW, with an estimated levered IRR of 14-20 per cent. The build cost includes all financing, planning and legal costs as well as turbine and construction costs.

The difference between the solar and wind project IRRs reflects the timelines and the higher levels of risk attached to developing a wind farm, compared to the contracted timelines and risks related to a solar project.

To support the development of the generation portfolio and to ensure that the long lead time items are ordered in good time to build them out, Good Energy has recently agreed a £7.5million RCF with Lloyds, as announced on 29 April 2013. The facility will be used to fund pre-planning costs, grid and network costs, ahead of financial close. At financial close on generation projects the amounts drawn down will be re-paid to the RCF.

1.3 Near-term solar financing and use of funds

The planning process for solar sites is less complicated than wind sites and we expect the solar sites will be out of planning in the second half of this year. The wind sites currently in planning will take longer, as the average time for a wind site through planning is 18 months.

Following planning determination the Company will decide which solar sites to take forward to financial close. The Company then expects to secure non-recourse project finance from lenders to allow them to be built and brought into operation. The Company already has these types of facilities for Delabole with Cooperative Bank, and for Hampole with Investec Bank, and has been in talks with these and other financial institutions about providing the requisite debt finance.

In addition to traditional project finance, Good Energy is also considering other options including putting in place construction finance, and refinancing post commissioning with a long term debt provider. Other options are to include credit arrangements with EPC contractors, which would effectively act like construction finance, and allow Good Energy to arrange long term finance post commissioning. Each of the potential deals will be considered on their relative merits and risk factors to the Company.

As a base case, the Board believes based on the indicative terms the Company has received from banks, other funders and EPC contractors combined with the proceeds from the Capital Raising, that the Company would be able to fund the construction of up to 10MW of solar sites which would be sufficient to supply around 2,300 homes. The Company's base case also assumes that the Company only receives planning consent for the part of the development portfolio that the Company could build out.

However, if the Company is able to receive planning approval for 100 per cent. of the solar sites, it will look to sell some of those sites in the open market which the Board believe will allow the Company to develop additional MW capacity.

Use of funds will be to repay to the RCF the initial pre-planning expenditure and put the remaining equity required into the solar portfolio for build-out.

The overall strategy of this investment supports the Company's ambition to purchase up to 50 per cent. of its electricity from its own portfolio, providing it with a natural hedge for the future market.

1.4 Generation Team

Mark Shorrock has led the development of the team and has put in place a similar structure to the team he worked with that had 21 successful solar applications for development of sites in 2011. Overall he has been responsible for the development of 67 MW in the UK in wind and solar and became acting Director of Generation in 2012 to lead and build the Good Energy development team.

The Board have since hired a Head of Generation, who has come from an onshore and offshore wind development background and will join the team in June 2013. He will report directly to Mark, and will be responsible for the build out and longer term development of the portfolio. The Board envisage that Mark's role will continue on identifying new sites and supporting the development capacity of the team, with the Head of Generation reporting to him, over the next two years. Mark is incentivised on a success basis to deliver on the targets set by the Company.

2. Current Trading

The Company is now supplying electricity to approximately 34,000 domestic and commercial customers and supplying gas to approximately 10,500 domestic customers. As of June 2013 the Company had approximately 52,000 registered sites in its FIT administration business, including individual households and operators of domestic and industrial solar power plants.

The Company continues to trade in line with management expectations for the year.

3. Details of the Placing and Open Offer

3.1 Structure

The Directors have given consideration as to the best way to structure the proposed equity fundraising, having regard to current market conditions, the composition of the Company's Shareholder register, the level of the Company's share price and the importance of pre-emption rights to Shareholders. After considering these factors, the Directors have concluded that the structure of the fundraising by way of the Placing and Open Offer is the most suitable option available to the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Open Offer provides an opportunity for all Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the fundraising by acquiring Open Offer Shares pro rata to their current holdings of Existing Ordinary Shares with the option for subscribing for more pursuant to the Excess Application Facility subject to clawback.

The Issue Price of 125 pence per New Ordinary Share represents a 16.9 per cent. discount to the closing middle market price of 150.5 pence per Existing Ordinary Share on 10 July 2013, the last business day before the announcement of the Capital Raising.

3.2 Principal terms of the Placing

The Company has conditionally raised £1.8 million by means of the placing of 1,440,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price to the Placees. A General Meeting is being called to seek Shareholders' approval to grant new authorities to enable the Directors, inter alia, to complete the Placing. The Placing is conditional on (amongst other things) Admission and passing of Resolutions 1 to 3 and has not been underwritten.

All of the Placing Shares have been placed with institutions and other investors and are not, therefore, being offered to existing Shareholders and do not form part of the Open Offer. The Placing Shares will, upon issue, rank pari passu with each other, the Existing Ordinary Shares and the Open Offer Shares in issue following the Capital Raising.

The Company has appointed N+1 Singer as its agent to use its reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for the Placing Shares at the Issue Price.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 31 July 2013.

3.3 Principal terms of the Open Offer

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Open Offer, Qualifying Shareholders are being given the opportunity to subscribe for the Open Offer Shares at a price of 125 pence per Open Offer Share, pro rata to their holdings of Existing Ordinary Shares on the Record Date on the basis of:

2 Open Offer Shares for every 15 Existing Ordinary Shares

Qualifying Shareholders are also being given the opportunity, provided that they take up their Open Offer Entitlement in full, to apply for Excess Shares through the Excess Application Facility.

The Open Offer is conditional on the Placing and Open Offer Agreement becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects and not being terminated before Admission. The principal conditions to the Open Offer are the same as those that apply to the Placing.

Assuming full take-up under the Open Offer, the issue of the Open Offer Shares will raise further gross proceeds of approximately £2.0 million for the Company.

The Open Offer Shares will, upon issue, rank pari passu with the Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing.

Fractions of Open Offer Shares will not be allotted to Qualifying Shareholders in the Open Offer and entitlements under the Open Offer will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Open Offer Shares. The fractional entitlements will be aggregated and made available to Qualifying Shareholders under the Excess Application Facility.

Qualifying Shareholders with holdings of Existing Ordinary Shares in both certificated and uncertificated form will be treated as having separate holdings for the purpose of calculating the Open Offer Entitlements.

3.4 Excess Application Facility

The Excess Application Facility will enable Qualifying Shareholders, provided that they take up their Open Offer Entitlement in full, to apply for Excess Open Offer Entitlements. Qualifying non-CREST Shareholders who wish to apply to acquire more than their Open Offer Entitlement should complete the relevant sections on the Application Form. Qualifying CREST Shareholders will have Excess CREST Open Offer Entitlements credited to their stock account in CREST. Applications for Excess Open Offer Entitlements will be satisfied only and to the extent that corresponding applications by other Qualifying Shareholders are not made or are made for less than their Open Offer Entitlements. If applications under the Excess Application Facility are received for more than the total number of Open Offer Shares available following take-up of Open Offer Entitlements, such applications will be scaled back to the number of Excess Shares applied for by Qualifying Shareholders under the Excess Application Facility.

Application will be made for the Open Offer Entitlements and Excess Open Offer Entitlements in respect of Qualifying CREST Shareholders to be admitted to CREST. It is expected that such Open Offer Entitlements and Excess Open Offer Entitlements will be admitted to CREST at 8.00 a.m. on 12 July 2013. Such Open Offer Entitlements and Excess Open Offer Entitlements will also be enabled for settlement in CREST at 8.00 a.m. on 12 July 2013. Applications through the means of the CREST system may only be made by the Qualifying Shareholder originally entitled or by a person entitled by virtue of a bona fide market claim.

Qualifying non-CREST Shareholders will have received an Application Form which sets out their entitlement to Open Offer Shares as shown by the number of Open Offer Entitlements allocated to them. Qualifying CREST Shareholders will receive a credit to their appropriate stock accounts in CREST in respect of their Open Offer Entitlements on 12 July 2013.

Shareholders should note that the Open Offer is not a rights issue. Qualifying CREST Shareholders should note that although the Open Offer Entitlements and Excess Open Offer Entitlements will be admitted to CREST and be enabled for settlement, applications in respect of entitlements under the Open Offer may only be made by the Qualifying Shareholder originally entitled or by a person entitled by virtue of a bona fide market claim. Qualifying non-CREST Shareholders should note that the Application Form is not a negotiable document and cannot be traded. Qualifying Shareholders should be aware that in the Open Offer, unlike in a rights issue, any Open Offer Shares not applied for will not be sold in the market or placed for the benefit of Qualifying Shareholders who do not apply under the Open Offer. If applications are made for less than all of the Open Offer Shares available, then the lower number of Open Offer Shares will be issued.

For Qualifying non-CREST Shareholders, completed Application Forms, accompanied by full payment, should be returned by post or by hand (during normal business hours only) to Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY so as to arrive as soon as possible and in any event so as to be received no later than 11 a.m. on 29 July 2013. For Qualifying CREST Shareholders the relevant CREST instructions must have been settled no later than 11 a.m. on 29 July 2013.

3.5 Other information relating to the Capital Raising

The Placing and Open Offer are conditional, inter alia, upon:

(a) the passing of Resolutions 1 to 3;

(b) the Placing and Open Offer Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects (other than Admission) and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms; and

(c) Admission of the Placing Shares and Open Offer Shares becoming effective by not later than 31 July 2013 (or such later time and/or date as N+1 Singer may agree, not being later than 31 August 2013).

Accordingly, if any of such conditions are not satisfied, or, if applicable, waived, the Placing and Open Offer will not proceed.

The Placing and Open Offer will result in the issue of in total 3,113,335 New Ordinary Shares assuming full take up under the Open Offer (representing, in aggregate, approximately 19.9 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital). The New Ordinary Shares, when issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares and therefore rank equally for all dividends or other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue of the New Ordinary Shares. No temporary documents of title will be issued.

Following the issue of the New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising, Qualifying Shareholders who take up their full entitlements, excluding any New Ordinary Shares acquired through the Excess Application Facility, in respect of the Open Offer will undergo a dilution of up to 9.2 per cent. to their interests in the Company because of the Placing. Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up any of their entitlements in respect of the Open Offer will experience a more substantial dilution of approximately 19.9 per cent. to their interests in the Company because of the Capital Raising.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares and the Open Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective on 31 July 2013 and that dealings for normal settlement in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 31 July 2013.

4. Related Party Transactions

4.1 Substantial Transactions

Schroders plc, a substantial shareholder in the Company (as defined by the AIM Rules), has conditionally agreed to subscribe for Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing. The participation of Schroders plc in the Placing represents related party transactions for the purposes of the AIM Rules.

The Directors, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, N+1 Singer, consider the terms of Schroders plc participation in the Placing to be fair and reasonable insofar as Shareholders are concerned. In providing advice to the Directors, N+1 Singer has taken into account the commercial assessment of the Directors.

4.2 Shire Oak Energy Limited

There is a contract dated 10 July 2013 between Good Energy Generation Limited (GEG) and Shire Oak Energy Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 8100687 (SOL). SOL is a related party as defined by the AIM Rules by virtue of the shareholding in it of Mark Shorrock, the husband of Juliet Davenport, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. SOL has been appointed as a consultant by GEG to, inter alia, introduce sites suitable for development as solar parks to GEG, to mentor and aid GEG in the sourcing of renewable energy generation installation sites, the development and the obtaining of funding for the development of such solar sites and reviewing the potential solar park and wind farm sites in the Group's portfolio.

Under the contract SOL will receive consultancy fees of £750 per day based on time sheets.

In addition SOL will be entitled to the following commission payments:

(a) in relation to the development of a solar site, a commission of:

(i) up to the lesser of £40,000 per MW installed or 30% of such sum as is produced by the application of an all equity IRR of 8% to the financial close model used by the relevant third party debt or equity provider in connection with the provision of long term finance for the development of a solar park on that site; or

(ii) where a solar site is not developed by the construction of a solar park but sold, the lesser of 30% of the net proceeds of sale, (but excluding as regards calculation of the net proceeds of sale any long lead time payments for transformers, switchgear and/or disconnectors), or £40,000 per MW permitted for that solar site pursuant to a planning permission for development of that site obtained prior to the sale; and

(b) in relation to the development of a wind farm site, a commission of:

(iii) up to the lesser of £75,000 per MW installed or 10% of such sum as is produced by the application of an all equity IRR of 11% to the financial close model used by the relevant third party debt or equity provider in connection with the provision of long term finance for the development of a wind farm on that site; or

(iv) where a wind farm site is not developed by the construction of a wind farm but sold, the lesser of 10% of the net proceeds of sale, (but excluding as regards calculation of the net proceeds of sale any long lead time payments for transformers, switchgear and/or disconnectors), or £75,000 per MW permitted for that wind farm site pursuant to a planning permission for development of that site obtained prior to the sale.

Commission payable as regards solar sites is subject to deduction of an amount equal to 30% of the relevant costs of solar sites not successfully developed as solar parks where the investment by the Group is written off and as regards wind farm sites is subject to deduction of an amount equal to 50% of the relevant costs of wind farm sites not successfully developed as wind farms where the investment by the Group is written off.

Commission is payable in instalments based on certain milestones being reached.

If planning is obtained in 2013 for the development of 100MW of solar parks which are then either constructed or sold, SOL could be entitled to commission in the order of £3,000,000.

The independent Directors, (being the Directors other than Juliet Davenport), consider having consulted with N+1Singer, consider the Company's nominated adviser, that the terms of the contract are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

5. Directors' Participation

John Maltby, Chairman, and Francesca Ecsery, Non-Executive Director, are participating in the Placing amounting to an aggregate subscription for 122,400 Placing Shares or approximately 8.5 per cent. of the Placing. Following the Placing, and assuming nil take up of the Open Offer, the Directors will beneficially own, in aggregate 8.89 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital.

6. General Meeting

At the General Meeting, the following Resolutions will be proposed:

(a) a special resolution to amend the articles of association of the Company to increase the stated authorised share capital of the Company from £1,000,000 divided into 20,000,000 Ordinary Shares to £2,000,000 divided into 40,000,000 Ordinary Shares. While the concept of authorised share capital has been abolished by the Act, any statement of authorised share capital in a company's articles of association will act as a limit on the number of shares that can be allotted by that company. The resolution in this paragraph (a) is therefore required in order for the Capital Raising to proceed and to enable the Directors to allot shares pursuant to the general allotment authority and to have share capital for future issue as might be requested and approved by the shareholders;

(b) an ordinary resolution to grant authority to the Directors to allot up to 3,115,000 New Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company or to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares in the capital of the Company pursuant to section 551 of the Act, being up to an aggregate nominal amount of £155,750. The Directors will limit this authority to the allotment of New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising and the authority will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2014 after the passing of the Resolution;

(c) a special resolution to disapply the statutory pre-emption rights contained in section 561(1) of the Act in respect of the allotment of up to 3,115,000 New Ordinary Shares with an aggregate nominal amount of up to £155,750. The Directors will again limit this authority to the allotment of New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Capital Raising and the authority will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2014 after the passing of the Resolution;

(d) an ordinary resolution to grant a general authority to the Directors to allot up to 1,900,000 shares in the capital of the Company or to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares in the capital of the Company pursuant to section 551 of the Act, being up to an aggregate nominal amount of £95,000. This authority will represent approximately 12 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital and is in line with the Directors' existing share authorities granted pursuant to section 551 of the Act at the Company's last AGM which was held earlier this year; and
