Good Energy launches the UK’s first local electricity tariff

The tariff will offer consumers a discount of 20 per cent on their standard tariff, if they sign up before 28 February, as a reward for living close to the 9.2MW windfarm.

The local tariff will be replicated by Good Energy across the country at the company’s other windfarm sites over 4MW as they are developed.

Juliet Davenport, chief executive of Good Energy, said: “We are rewriting the rules about renewable energy generation in the UK and the local tariff puts community interest at the heart of what we do.”
