British renewable energy company Good Energy has renewed its clean power deal with Danish offshore wind energy company Ørsted.
As per the terms of the three-year agreement, Good Energy will continue to source 12% of clean energy from Ørsted’s 210MW Westermost Rough wind farm, which is located in the North Sea.
The deal, which is worth up to £50m, will enable Good Energy to supply clean energy to customers’ homes and businesses.
It will help secure 12% of renewable energy produced by Ørsted’s wind farm, which will be sufficient to power more than 36,000 average homes.
Ørsted power origination head Kyle Worthington said: “We continue to enjoy collaborating with Good Energy and this extension to our cooperation is testament to that.
“Together, we share ambitions to create a green and climate-friendly energy system. It is great to see them raising the standard for what it means to be a 100% renewable energy supplier and we are happy to partner with them on this journey.”
