Good Energy success recognised with accolades
Good Energy Limited, the 100% renewable electricity supplier owned by Good Energy Group plc, has been named as the best green electricity supplier according to a new report by the UK's leading ethical and environmental magazine, Ethical Consumer. Good Energy topped the survey of green electricity tariffs and also achieved the highest score for its dual fuel gas tariff.
In addition, Good Energy has also been given the Company Award in the British Renewable Energy Awards 2013. The award was granted in recognition of Good Energy's "marriage of bright ideas, a passion for renewables, and an unrelenting commitment to excellent customer service."
Both awards come after Good Energy topped the Which? Energy Company Satisfaction Survey for the second year running. The company was highly commended for its customer service and was the only company awarded the top five-star rating for energy efficiency advice.
Commenting, Juliet Davenport OBE, CEO and founder of Good Energy, said:
"This is an important recognition of the hard work we have put into making Good Energy the best green energy choice for British consumers, and I'm delighted to be able to celebrate our achievements this way.
"By striving to do things differently, we have demonstrated that business can be a force for good. Good Energy unites outstanding customer service with a tireless approach to making renewable electricity accessible and affordable, with one simple aim; to make an impact on climate change by making it easy for people to switch to green electricity."
