Good Energy Group PLC
("Good Energy" or "the Company")
Good Energy first supplier awarded 'Gold' in Uswitch new green
tariff accreditation scheme
Good Energy Group PLC (AIM: GOOD), the 100% renewable
electricity supplier and innovative energy services provider,
announces it has been named as the first and only energy supplier
to date awarded 'Gold' in USwitch's green tariff accreditation
scheme.
Uswitchs' independent panel judged Good Energy's electricity and
gas tariffs to be 'market leading in their environmental
credentials'.
Good Energy, the UK's first 100% renewable electricity company,
is now the first to be awarded the highest standard on a
ground-breaking new green accreditation scheme for energy tariffs.
The 'first of its kind' scheme from a comparison and switching site
categorises green energy tariffs into Bronze, Silver and Gold, with
Good Energy the only supplier awarded Gold.
The Uswitch Green Accreditation* aims to provide transparency to
customers looking to switch to a green tariff. Research from the
comparison service found that whilst a third of households are now
on a 'green' tariff, more than half (52%) of UK consumers are
confused about what makes up the many 'green' deals on the
market.
Criteria verified by an independent panel of experts require
Gold standard tariffs to be backed with 100% renewable electricity
purchased from renewable generators direct, and 10% of green gas.
Good Energy, which is also rated 'excellent' on customer service
reviews site Trustpilot, was awarded the standard for all tariffs
it submitted.
There are more than 6 million domestic energy customers who
switch supplier every year, the majority via switching and
comparison sites, of which Uswitch is the most popular. The site
receives over 5 million visits per month.
Juliet Davenport, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Good
Energy, said:
"This is a watershed moment for transparency around green
tariffs. For years now energy suppliers have been able to mis-label
green tariffs to customers who are trying to do the right thing in
choosing green. We have continued to invest in our domestic
business and are seeing record levels of customer service. This
accreditation makes it clear for customers on how to switch to a
truly green energy provider.
"The UK cannot achieve net zero without bringing everyone along.
To build a greener future together, we have to give people the
facts about the renewable choices they are making. It's brilliant
to see Uswitch take action and do it in the right way by asking
independent experts. We hope to see other comparison and switch
services follow suit".
