Tariff types offered

Good Energy offers both fixed and variable tariffs across electricity and gas, all backed by 100% renewable electricity sourced from its network of UK generators.

Its fixed tariffs lock in unit rates and standing charges for a set term, typically 12 months. Its variable tariff range includes the Good Energy Standard, which is notable for being exempt from the Ofgem price cap, a status Ofgem grants in recognition of Good Energy's direct-sourcing model rather than one available to most standard variable tariffs on the market.

Good Energy also offers tariffs aimed at specific setups, including a Smart EV tariff providing off-peak overnight electricity for EV charging, and a Heat Pump tariff for customers with air source heat pumps. For customers with solar panels, Good Energy offers export tariffs paying for electricity sent back to the grid, with rates and eligibility varying by setup.

How does Good Energy source its renewable electricity?

Is Good Energy's variable tariff covered by the price cap?

No, in Good Energy's case. Its Standard Variable tariff is exempt from the Ofgem price cap, which Ofgem permits because of how Good Energy sources power directly from renewable generators. This is a specific exception rather than how most suppliers' variable tariffs work.
