1. The role of ICT in energy
A viewpoint from an energy
supplier
Matt Reeves

2. Good Energy was born as a UK response
to climate change
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
We believe energy To get there
Energy today is
should be we change…
97% fossil 100% renewable … from brown to green
Undervalued Properly valued … from big to small

only 100% renewable electricity

electricity in the UK is still imported

projects remain within local
economies and communities

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
