Good Energy signs biggest supply deal

Wiltshire-headquartered renewable energy provider Good Energy has secured the largest energy supply deal in its 26‑year history, signing a two-year power purchase agreement with Ørsted to buy electricity from its offshore wind farms.

The contract runs from October 2026 to October 2028 and covers 200GWh of electricity a year, roughly one-sixth of the total output of the Walney 1 and Walney 2 wind farms, in the Irish Sea near Barrow-in-Furness.

The agreement allows the Chippenham-based firm to source renewable power through long-term contracts with independent generators.

The company already works with more than 1,700 generators across the UK, and chief executive Nigel Pocklington said the new deal shows its commitment to growth in the renewable energy market.

Fran Woodward, managing director of supply at Good Energy, said: “This agreement with Ørsted is a key milestone for Good Energy and marks the largest energy supply deal we have ever signed.

“More importantly, it represents a step change in the scale of our supply at a time when demand for home‑grown renewable power is accelerating, driven by an ongoing energy crisis and heightened global instability.

“By partnering with Ørsted on Walney, we’re significantly increasing the amount of predictable, UK renewable power in our portfolio.

“That scale allows us to bring clean, reliable energy to more households across the UK, while also supporting businesses that are investing in the energy transition and looking for greater certainty and renewable security as they navigate increasingly volatile energy markets.”

Joseph Conlan, head of origination at Ørsted, said: “We value our strong collaboration with Good Energy, and this PPA reflects the shared success we’ve built together on our previous PPA’s.

“As Good Energy looks to expand its supply in the UK, we are keen to further develop this relationship and support their continued growth alongside our own portfolio developments.

“Together, we share the desire to speed up the transition to a sustainable energy system.”
