An Unprecedented Purchasing Volume in Good Energy’s History

The PPA, running from October 2026 to October 2028, is expected to deliver 400 GWh of renewable electricity over its full term, according to the company. That volume could supply more than 74,000 UK homes per year, based on typical household consumption figures. It also represents around one-sixth of the combined output of the two wind farms. Good Energy had previously sourced electricity primarily through a network of more than 3,300 independent generators under its longstanding decentralised model.

The agreement follows a first PPA signed between the two groups in 2023, under which Good Energy purchased 110 GWh per year from the Hornsea 1 offshore wind farm. Together, the two contracts illustrate a shift in Good Energy’s supply strategy: the company now combines its decentralised model with larger-scale, longer-term contracts to access higher volumes at competitive rates. Fran Woodward, Managing Director of Supply at Good Energy, states that the deal “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.”

Data Centres as a Key Commercial Growth Target

Good Energy is explicitly targeting high-consumption customers, particularly data centres, which require consistent and predictable power supply. In April 2026, the company had announced a partnership with Stellium Datacenters, the operator of a large-scale data centre campus near Newcastle. The stated objective is to cut the site’s carbon emissions by 75% and link its consumption directly to power generated by the independent renewable generators in Good Energy’s network.

On Ørsted’s side, Joseph Conlan, Head of Origination, states that this PPA “reflects the shared success we’ve built together on our previous agreements” and that Ørsted is keen to “support Good Energy’s continued growth alongside our own portfolio developments.” Ørsted, which positions itself as the global leader in offshore wind, holds a significant asset base in the United Kingdom, including the Walney farms located in the Irish Sea. The duration of the agreement and the visibility it provides on volumes represent, according to both parties, a competitive advantage in an energy market characterised by heightened volatility.
