The role of ICT in energyA viewpoint from an energy supplier
Good Energy was born as a UK response to climate change
Energy today isWe believe energy
should beTo get there we change…
97% fossil 100% renewable … from brown to green
Undervalued Properly valued … from big to small
Wasted Intelligently managed … from few to many
Imported Locally sourced … from far to near
We believe that the UK can be powered by 100% renewable electricity by 2050, but it will require a
significant change to our energy systems
Our progress towards our goal…
Today Good Energy remains the UK’s only 100% renewable electricity supplier
•We support over 35,000 generators
•We supply over 29,000 customers in the UK
… but 60% of the fuel we use to produce electricity in the UK is still imported

Changing how energy is supplied changes how it is used…
The link between micro generation & energy usage - A Good Energy generator survey, Oct 2011 http://www.goodenergy.co.uk/what-we-are-doing/good-energy-republic/2011/11/15/microgenerators-use-less
55% of Good Energy microgenerators have changed their energy usage patterns to match their generator output
… how much is used …
A third of Good Energy microgenerators have reduced their energy consumption by more than 20% since
installing their generator

…who owns it …
Local ownership helps ensure that benefits from energy
projects remain within local economies and communities
… and how people engage with it
Engaging communities in development projects helps bring people closer to the development, and ensure they
understand the benefits of the project
Ensuring energy market legislation and
infrastructure is geared to support decentralised
renewables
Smaller generators which connect people to where their energy comes from
This means people value energy more and use it less
