Supplier review

Good Energy Review

A customer’s view of a long-established renewable electricity supplier — what stands out, what to check, and whether Good Energy could suit your home.

Our verdict

A compelling choice for genuinely greener electricity

Good Energy’s strongest feature is the way it supports renewable generation in Britain. It buys power directly from thousands of independent generators and matches customers’ electricity use with 100% renewable electricity over the year.

Why I chose Good Energy

For me, an energy supplier should do more than attach renewable certificates to electricity bought on the wholesale market. Good Energy’s direct relationships with independent wind, solar, hydro and biogeneration producers make its environmental proposition feel more substantial and transparent.

That approach has earned independent recognition, including Which? Eco Provider status and Uswitch Green Tariff accreditation. Good Energy also offers an app and online account for meter readings, payments, bills and energy-use tracking.

My current Good Energy tariff

My electricity tariff currently has the following rates. They are shared as a real-world reference, not as a quote: prices vary by tariff, payment method, meter type, region and date.

Electricity unit rate24.5pper kWh
Standing charge45.01pper day

Rates correct as at October 2026. Always check the personalised quote and tariff information before switching.

What I like

  • A meaningful renewable model: electricity is sourced directly from a large community of independent renewable generators in Britain.
  • Independent green credentials: its tariffs and sourcing have received recognition from consumer and industry assessors.
  • Useful account tools: customers can submit readings, make payments and monitor usage through the app or online account.
  • Options for greener homes: specialist tariffs and services are available for technologies such as electric vehicles, heat pumps, solar panels and export.

What to consider

Good Energy will not automatically be the cheapest supplier for every household. Its standard tariff supports renewable generation beyond the minimum required of suppliers and is exempt from Ofgem’s energy price cap, so price still deserves a careful comparison. Check the unit rate, standing charge, tariff type and any exit fee against your own annual usage.
