Good Energy April 2009

Good Energy HomeGen Scheme increases to 15p


From 1st April 2009, Good Energy are increasing the payments we make to HomeGen customers to 15p for every unit of electricity that they generate. With this 50% increase Good Energy HomeGen remains the highest paying scheme of its kind in the UK. Good Energy is also reducing its prices for the electricity they sell in April 2009. This means the price they pay to HomeGen customers for the electricity they generate will be higher than the prices they charge - a clear demonstration of their commitment to supporting small scale renewable generators.
