Product Information

Joining Good Energy as CEO in 2021, I was drawn to the business primarily because of its purpose. I have always worked within purpose led business. In fact, I believe the most successful businesses always have a purpose beyond simply making money. But Good Energy’s is so clear, and so critical — combatting climate change. The diagram to the right shows that, if everyone in the world used resources at the rate we do in the UK, Earth Overshoot Day would have fallen on 19thMay.Whereas if everyone had the lifestyle of an average person in Jamaica, we wouldn’t use up our ecological budget until 20thDecember. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only be changed from one form to another. This principle is known as the conservation of energy. The northern parts of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is seeing record levels of coral cover, the highest they’ve seen in the past 36 years. Even though the future of the reef is not secured due to the impact of bleaching, animal activity and weather events, it shows that the Great Barrier Reef remains resilient. Changes to attitudes in the UK It was an eventful year to join. A world still coping with a global pandemic. Climate high up on the national and international political and media agenda with the UN’s climate conference COP26 coming to Glasgow. And as the year progressed, an increasingly volatile energy market driven by global gas prices. It brought into stark focus that there is not only an environmental argument for moving away from fossil fuels, there is an economic one too.

The diagram above shows that we’ve been using more than what the earth can replenish each year for over half a century. How energy can change from one form to another. Examples presented include a lightbulb, a car's engine, and plant photosynthesis. (more) See all videos for this article Energy can be neither created nor destroyed but only changed from one form to another. This principle is known as the conservation of energy or the first law of thermodynamics. For example, when a box slides down a hill, the potential energy that the box has from being located high up on the slope is converted to kinetic energy, energy of motion. As the box slows to a stop through friction, the kinetic energy from the box’s motion is converted to thermal energy that heats the box and the slope. Throughout all of this, I am proud to say Good Energy never wavered in its commitment to climate action. It only strengthened our resolve — 2021 was a landmark year for our purpose in many respects. In another major milestone, a new ‘ Loss and Damage’ fund was agreed at COP27 to help the countries that are most vulnerable to the climate crisis, yet have often contributed least to causing it, to rescue and rebuild their infrastructure in the aftermath of climate disasters. People power: UK government sued over climate action plansWe all have work to do to live sustainably and protect the planet. But some countries have more work to do than others. Does earth overshoot day move? This means that for the restof2023, we’re effectively in debt toourplanet – borrowing resources from future years instead of living within our means. How is Earth Overshoot Day measured? Lawyers and campaigners from Good Energy partner Friends of the Earth, Client Earth and the Good Law Project came together recently to take the UK government to court over their climate action targets. The High Court has ruled their net zero targets as unlawful in what Friends of the Earth lawyer Katie de Kauwe has called a “huge victory for climate justice”. The UN announced that it will funnel €3.1 billion into building early warning systems against climate disasters for everyone in the world. Currently, countries with limited early warnings are blindsided by climate disasters, and have a mortality rate eight times higher than countries with high coverage. The UN’s action plan sets out the way forward to right this wrong, and protect lives and livelihoods.

Over the past 10 years, the UK has been making more green changes to help in the fight against climate change. Environmental and social governance shifted from a nice to have in business, to the only way of operating. The energy crisis has not abated and does not look to do so for the foreseeable. Meanwhile the climate crisis looms ever larger. The long-term solution to both is a cleaner, greener energy and transport system. We took to the global stage at COP26. Introduced our Good Future Board, young people holding us to account on protecting their futures. Continued to cut our carbon footprint, remaining substantially lower than a pre-COVID-19 baseline. Achieved a number of breakthroughs on combatting greenwash in energy retail.

More energy is coming from renewables – In 2021 around 39% of electricity and 18% of all energy in the UK came from renewable sources. This is a big increase compared to 2011, where only 9.5% of electricity and around 5% of energy was generated from renewables. Energy can be converted from one form to another in various other ways. Usable mechanical or electrical energy is, for instance, produced by many kinds of devices, including fuel-burning heat engines, generators, batteries, fuel cells, and magnetohydrodynamic systems.

We’re Good Energy, an energy service company that embraces tech to help Britain get to net zero carbon emissions. We do this through providing 100% renewable electricity and developing innovative services to support customers to generate, share, store, use and travel with truly clean power. We’re passionate about the planet and empowering people to fight the climate crisis. That’s why we’ve been providing clean energy to businesses and homes for over 20 years. In general, the trend is flattening, although it is difficult to know how much of that is due to efforts to decarbonise, and how much is due to economic slow down. What we do know is that progress is much too slow. To reach the UN’s IPCC target of reducing carbon emissions 43% worldwide by 2030 compared to 2010, we would need to move Earth Overshoot Day 19 days every year for the next seven years.
