A UK high‑performance computing (HPC) data centre has cut its carbon emissions by three‑quarters while easing pressure on the electricity system, offering a blueprint for how the fast‑growing AI sector can expand without overwhelming the grid.

Stellium Datacenters which operates one the UKs largest purpose built data centre campuses near Newcastle has switched to a new way of sourcing electricity. This matches its power use with renewable generation hour-by-hour, rather than relying on annual averages.

The move comes as data centres face mounting scrutiny over their energy use, with concerns growing that AI and cloud computing could strain local grids and push up energy costs. That scrutiny has intensified in recent months, with MPs launching an inquiry through the Environmental Audit Committee into the environmental impact of data centres, including their growing electricity and water use and the pressure they place on local grids.

Working with renewable energy supplier Good Energy, Stellium now runs its site on a 100% renewable, hourly‑matched electricity supply, linking consumption directly to power generated by more than 3,300 independent UK renewable generators. This approach allows the company to show exactly when its electricity demand is met by renewable sources, achieving an hourly matching score of 95.4%, more than double the current market average of around 43%. Planned additions, including large-scale battery storage, are expected to lift this to 97–98%, while being able to show exactly
which UK renewable assets powered the data centre and when.

Traditionally, many data centres rely on renewable certificates that show clean electricity was generated somewhere on the grid over a year, even if fossil fuels were used at the time power was actually consumed. Some “100% renewable” tariffs relying on this system mask continued reliance on fossil-fuelled power at precisely the moments when the grid is most constrained. By contrast, hourly matching provides a much clearer picture of real‑world impact, demonstrating which users are sourcing clean homegrown power versus relying on fossil‑fuelled generation at peak times.

Stellium says the change has transformed conversations with customers, regulators and auditors – particularly global AI and technology firms with strict net zero and reporting requirements. The company can now demonstrate, in detail, which
renewable assets powered its operations, when they did so and where they are located.

Paul Mellon, Operations Director at Stellium, said: “Data centres often get bad press for their high, inflexible energy use. But this shows that AI and high‑performance computing don’t have to come at the expense of the grid or the climate. By switching to hourly‑matched renewable power, we’ve been able to cut emissions dramatically while giving customers the transparency they increasingly demand.”

Nigel Pocklington, CEO of Good Energy, said: “By matching electricity use with renewable generation hour-by-hour, Stellium can show when clean power is actually being used – not just claimed on paper. That kind of transparency cuts carbon emissions, reduces reliance on fossil fuels at peak times and proves that digital growth and a resilient energy system can go hand-in-hand.”

The case comes as the UK prepares for a major expansion in data centre capacity to support AI, cloud computing and data‑driven industries. As planners, communities and policymakers look more closely at how new developments will affect local infrastructure, Stellium’s experience suggests that data centres can respond by sourcing and reporting their energy responsibly, rather than relying on offsetting or misleading annualised accounting.

With pressure growing on the sector to prove its environmental credentials, the model demonstrates that practical solutions already exist – and that AI‑driven growth can be aligned with a cleaner, more resilient electricity system.

Good Energy, the 100% renewable electricity supplier and innovative energy services provider, has acquired Low Energy Services, a leading commercial solar panel installer servicing Scotland and the North East of England, marking the company’s fifth solar acquisition in 18 months.  

Low Energy Services has become one of Scotland’s leading installers of solar panels and battery storage systems for commercial and industrial customers since its inception in 2018.  

The acquisition marks the next step in Good Energy’s strategy to rapidly scale its services offering nationwide.  Last year, the company was acquired by Esyasoft – a smart grid technology company – to support the expansion and scale of Good Energy’s services into new markets and become a nationwide one-stop energy provider for green-minded customers.  

Acquiring Low Energy Services extends Good Energy’s geographical footprint beyond England and follows the acquisitions of Empower Energy, Amelio Solar, Wessex Eco Energy and JPS Renewable Energy over the past 18 months – now all operating under the Good Energy brand. 

Nigel Pocklington, CEO of Good Energy, said: “This marks our first acquisition as a private business and is an important step in our ambition to significantly scale Good Energy’s operations nationwide. Low Energy already has a strong and established presence across Scotland and northern England, and by bringing the business under the Good Energy brand, we can provide the financial backing and support needed to accelerate growth. 

“Together, we are well placed to serve one of the UK’s fastestgrowing renewable energy markets, helping more businesses and organisations access reliable, affordable and sustainable energy, while accelerating the transition to a cleaner energy system for all.” 

Carl Hogg, Services Managing Director at Good Energy, said: “More than ever businesses are recognising the commercial rationale for installing solar. With energy costs remaining high, businesses and organisations with rooftop real estate can achieve excellent returns on investment.  

“By welcoming the Low Energy Services team and their wealth of experience to the Good Energy Group, we can help even more commercial customers in Scotland and the north of England to decarbonise and reduce energy costs.” 

Founded more than 25 years ago in Chippenham, Good Energy now installs solar panels and home batteries, as well as supplying 100% renewable electricity. 

Low Energy Services will be integrated under the Good Energy brand, representing an expansion of the group with a highly skilled new team. 

Jason Lowey, Director at Low Energy Services, added:“I’m incredibly proud of the Low Energy Services team and what we’ve built, and joining Good Energy Group feels like a fantastic next step for the company.  

“We share a future-aligned approach focused on quality and customer trust at the centre. Working as part of Good Energy Group strengthens our offering, giving our existing clients and partners access to greater scale, while enabling us to deliver even more impactful solutions for new customers across the UK from our base in Scotland.” 

Solar demand in Scotland is accelerating rapidly, with small‑scale solar installations increasing by 174% between 2020 and 2023¹. This momentum is reflected more broadly across the energy system, with renewable electricity generation in Scotland rising by 11.5% year‑on‑year in 2024, significantly outpacing growth in England².  

Despite this rapid expansion, Scotland’s solar market remains significantly under‑penetrated, with only around 8% of households currently having certified renewable installations, highlighting substantial headroom for continued growth in the years ahead³.

• Drivers missing out on the lowest off-peak rates 

• Good Energy launches new EV time of use tariff with an overnight rate of just 6.6p/kWh, one of the lowest rates on the market 

Electric vehicle (“EV”) drivers are failing to capture the financial savings, or reductions in carbon emissions and pollution they are seeking from EV ownership, according to new findings from Good Energy, the renewable electricity company. 

Commissioned to coincide with the launch of Good Energy’s new EV Charge Tariff, the research¹ amongst fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle drivers reveals that reducing carbon emissions and pollution is the most common motivation for people to choose an electric vehicle, cited by 48% of them, alongside saving money (also 48%).  

Electricity tariffs designed for EV drivers often offer lower electricity prices during off-peak hours, typically at night, compared to standard tariffs. Requiring a smart meter, they enable customers to charge their vehicles when electricity demand is low, saving money on energy costs. 

But while 71% of EV drivers say they charge their vehicles at home using one of these tariffs¹, many are not getting the benefits they are looking for.  

Not all tariffs are as green as they appear 

Many energy suppliers claim to provide “100 per cent” renewable electricity – including through their EV tariffs – while justifying their claims through Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs), which are often traded via a secondary market, meaning suppliers can source energy from fossil fuel sources, and then buy certificates to label a tariff as “100% renewable”. 

Good Energy analysis² of the Matched Clean Power Index – the first platform that gives UK consumers the ability to see exactly how much of their electricity comes from renewable sources, hour by hour, all year – reveals that of 11 electricity providers offering specialist EV tariffs, seven provide renewable electricity 33% of the time or less. According to the Index, some providers of EV tariffs provide renewable electricity 0% of the time.  

The Matched Clean Power Index’s top performer for 2024-25 is Good Energy, with a score of 88% renewable energy across 0.4 TWh of consumption. 

Current regulation only mandates suppliers to match the total volume of renewable electricity certificates (REGOs) to the total annual electricity consumption, which means consumers may be using fossil-fuel electricity at lower renewable production times, even though they’re told they’re on a “100% renewable” tariff.  

Money wasting 

The new findings¹ also suggest that many EV drivers are needlessly wasting money. At least 15% of them aren’t using EV tariffs, meaning they are missing out on off-peak savings. A further 7% didn’t know what kind of tariff they used. 

Recent research³ from Easee suggests that charging an EV during peak times when electricity is at its most expensive costs a typical high-mileage driver using 40kWh per week around £372 extra per year. 

And a Cornwall Insight report⁴ suggests that specialist off-peak EV tariffs can offer motorists average annual savings of up to £1,240 compared to petrol, rising to £1,780 for high-mileage drivers.  

Even some motorists with an EV tariff are losing out, as there are significant differences in the off-peak rates charged across these tariffs, from 6.5p/kWh to over 15p/kWH at the other end of the scale. 

New EV Charge Tariff 

To help EV drivers who want to save money and help live a greener lifestyle, Good Energy has launched a new tariff with one of the most competitive off-peak rates available. Featuring overnight rates of 6.6p/kWh between midnight and 5am, the energy supplied is matched with 100% renewable electricity bought directly from Good Energy’s community of 3,000 generators across the UK. Open to new and existing customers, further details can be found here. 

Donna Slater, Head of Propositions and Pricing at Good Energy, said: “Electric vehicle drivers are motivated by environmental concerns and financial savings, but many of them are missing out on both. There is a large disparity between the best and worst rates on the market if they want to capture the benefits of charging their car off-peak. And there is an even bigger disparity between the providers genuinely buying renewable electricity from generators, and those relying on a system using certificates and middlemen that can enable energy suppliers to buy most of your power from fossil fuels and sell it to you as ‘100 per cent renewable’. 

“Our new EV tariff is for motorists who want peace of mind that their electricity is as renewable as it can be under the available infrastructure, and be able to charge their car overnight as cost-effectively as possible. 

“Customers deserve more transparency around how suppliers source renewable electricity, which is one of the major roadblocks preventing British households and businesses from being able to play an active part in our net zero ambitions. We’d like the Government to mandate a much higher level of transparency so that people and businesses can be assured that choosing a green supplier helps to create a greener energy system.” 

According to the research¹, other motivations for people to choose an EV include the convenience of being able to charge at home rather then visiting petrol stations (35%); performance benefits such as acceleration and quiet driving (26%) and the ability to access low-emission zones without incurring charges (23%). 

Being transparent about how power is sourced is key to Good Energy’s ethos. It launched the Good Green Supply earlier this year – setting sourcing principles that matter for transparency and growth of renewables – and called on other renewable suppliers to follow suit. 

Good Energy research⁵ suggests that consumers are confused by the lack of clarity over renewable electricity supply, duped into thinking the energy they use is 100 per cent renewable when it’s not. Over half of consumers (54%) with 100% renewable tariffs believe their supplier gets all of their electricity from renewable sources. Three in four consumers (73%) believe there should be stricter rules for transparency on how energy suppliers market their green claims.

The Matched Clean Power Index published today (27 October 2025) highlights which energy suppliers are balancing renewable generation and customer usage in real time. 

The index uses public data to calculate half-hourly renewable matching scores for UK energy suppliers. The results show a wide range of matching scores among suppliers, from 11% at the bottom to Good Energy’s market-leading 88%. 

Being transparent about how power is sourced is fundamental to Good Energy’s ethos and led to a new set of standards through the Good Green Supply, which challenged suppliers on the validity of their 100% renewable electricity tariffs.  

In addition to time matched performance, it shows the amount of power supplied to customers that is backed with actual purchases of renewable electricity, rather than just Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs), and how much of that power comes from new generators.  

Regulations designed to scrutinise the origins of clean energy are failing to help grow renewables, damaging the public’s confidence in the sources of the energy they are buying to fuel their homes and businesses. REGOs can be used to claim solar power generated in summer is matched with customer usage at night-time in winter. In its clean flexibility roadmap, published in July, the government stated it would be assessing how REGOs impact the flexibility market, indicating reform may be considered.  

Nigel Pocklington, Good Energy’s chief executive officer, said: “The false green labels some energy suppliers continue to sell to their customers can finally be given some transparency in this compelling new index into the true sources of clean power. Thanks to Matched for highlighting what our own government continues to overlook. 

“It’s crucial that the public have confidence in the origins of clean power, which is what the current ‘REGO’ system is meant to achieve by certificating green supply. We need to evolve the system, so it reflects the time renewable electricity is produced.  

“Many energy customers are being misled with renewable electricity tariffs rarely as green as they seem. We hope this much-needed scrutiny for the industry will nudge government towards establishing time-matched REGO certificates – which would help introduce genuine green tariffs across the market.” 

Matched founder, Joe Kwiatkowski, added: “Leading suppliers now deliver clean energy when consumers actually need it – yet outdated rules leave their offers lost in a sea of identical but misleading ‘green’ claims. We built the Matched Clean Power Index to give consumers the clarity to find the cleanest electricity.” 

Good Energy’s joined experts from Oxford, Imperial and other leading suppliers to contribute to the Matched methodology which supports the new index. The Matched Clean Power Index Methodology can be read here.  

Notes to editors 

Good Green Supply is comprised of three metrics which are important for determining the green credentials of an electricity supplier. These are: 

True Green: The percentage of supply backed with power sourced directly from renewable generators, either through purchases, or from a supplier’s own generation assets. Good Energy’s supply is 100% ‘True Green.’ 

New Green: The proportion of power from renewable generators which are new to the grid. Good Energy’s supply is 36% ‘New Green.’ 

Time-matched Green: The amount of customers’ energy usage that is matched to renewable generation hour by hour. Good Energy’s supply is 90% time matched.

This bold and innovative installation spells out “Good Energy” in solar panels, capitalising on the building’s location directly under the Bournemouth Airport flight path. Eagle-eyed browsers of Google Earth will also soon be able to find the Good Energy branded rooftop. 

The 161-panel system spans 7,000 square feet and is expected to generate 67,909 kWh of clean energy annually – enough to power around 25 UK homes each year. In its first year alone, it will prevent over 15,000 kg of CO₂ emissions, further reinforcing the company’s commitment to a net-zero future. 

The Ringwood office showcases Good Energy’s suite of sustainable technologies. In addition to the space-visible solar array, the office runs on 100% renewable electricity, features a 50kW battery for storing excess energy, has 14 EV charging points, and includes a living green wall – all designed to create a sustainable workplace for its growing team. 

“The solar array was a unique challenge,” said Sam Tudjaroglu, Operations Director (South) at Good Energy. “Unlike conventional rooftop installs, we had to run cable diagonally and across unusual pathways to form the lettering. It may not be the most optimal layout from a technical standpoint, but it’s a powerful statement about who we are and what we stand for.” 

The solar market is booming and the team in Ringwood is growing rapidly to meet the demand. The new office is supporting the scale up of Empower Energy, soon to be re-branded entirely to Good Energy Solar, which specialises in commercial solar, particularly on schools, care homes and industrial facilities.  

Deeply rooted in the local community, Empower Energy is also a founding member of STARF (Stronger Together Across Ringwood and Fordingbridge) – a charity established in 2022 by Empower’s Founder and Good Energy’s Business Development Director Ryan McShea during the energy crisis to support families in need. Since its inception, STARF has raised £180,000 for local schools, churches, and children’s services, with ongoing support from many local businesses. 

The new office will be officially opened on 1st July by Cllr. Rae Frederick, Mayor of Ringwood. Local businesses are invited to join the celebration from 4pm, with drinks and canapés provided – a perfect opportunity to explore the space, network, and see the solar array making headlines.

The new service is designed to strengthen the commercial case for renewables whilst incentivising businesses to flex their usage to times when clean power is being generated through peer-to-peer power provision.  

Good Energy has always matched the output from its community of renewable generators, now over 2,500 strong, with the demand from its customers on a half hourly basis — achieving 90 per cent matching or more. Two years ago, it launched the UK’s first time-matched service for all of its business customers, providing them the data on their individual matching. 

Now Hourly Matching Credit will provide a monetary incentive for time-matching for both business customers and generators. It means the more matched power the more credits earned. Business customers can save money by aligning consumption with eligible generation and generators can be rewarded by responding to increased demand – encouraging time-based matching for both import and export. 

For businesses, it’s a chance to cut costs while deepening sustainability credentials.  

For generators, it’s a way to earn more when their power is most valuable. 

Good Energy’s electricity supply model is already proven to provide additionality, evidenced by its recently launched Good Green Supply transparency standard. In addition to its electricity being 100 per cent power purchase agreement (PPA) backed and 90 per cent time-matched, 40 per cent of power supplied by the company came from renewable generators connecting to the grid for the first time.  

As it launches Hourly Matching Credit, the company expects the scheme to increase this additionality by providing incentives for time-matching and greater returns for its small-scale generators.  

Nigel Pocklington, Good Energy’s chief executive officer, said: “We have always prided ourselves on providing confidence to customers about the source of their renewable energy and a dependable route to market for renewable generators. Now we will be providing incentive to business customers to match and even more value back to small scale renewables.  

“This new scheme will help to supercharge the growth of our commercial electricity supply business with our truly renewable PPA backed power, providing a system benefit in greening the grid and helping the country achieve clean power by 2030.”  

Returns under the Hourly Matching Credit scheme will vary based on matching performance and there are no sign-up fees or other charges. For more information, visit the Good Energy website.

Good Energy is offering small to medium-sized firms looking to switch to a cleaner and more efficient heating solution a tailor-made heat pump consultation. 

The greener alternative to gas boilers is a smart choice for UK businesses looking to save money and cut carbon emissions. 

To help, Good Energy is offering a free consultation to businesses to discuss their specific heating requirements. This will inform a bespoke installation that can help save money on future energy bills. 

Operations Director, Max Waddingham, oversees Good Energy’s commercial heat pump projects across the UK.  He said: “If a business can be heated with a traditional appliance, it can almost certainly be heated with a heat pump. Air source heat pumps are becoming a well-established and widely used smart upgrade to heating systems, but it’s important businesses know how easy they are to install too and that’s where our service comes in. 

“We specialise in bespoke heat pump installations that cover a wide range of commercial buildings, alongside converted buildings and listed properties – especially in rural areas. Ultimately, we can upgrade your infrastructure to help your business control costs, build resilience into your operations and meet your net-zero goals.” 

Good Energy’s commercial heat pump installation service also checks business eligibility to receive different funding options. For example, one option could be the £7,500 grant through the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Businesses can pair this with solar panels and a 100% renewable electricity tariff to fully decarbonise their energy usage. 

Electricity is currently four-times more expensive than gas, due in part to additional environmental taxes levied on it. However, the greater efficiency of an air source heat pump can offset this, helping businesses to save energy costs. 

How do they work? 

• Air source heat pumps use ambient heat from the air to heat buildings and provide hot water. They produce more heat than they consume electricity, making them highly energy efficient.   

• While electricity supplements this heating to ensure consistent temperatures throughout a building, the primary energy source is naturally occurring. And, as the technology improves and fossil fuel price fluctuations continue to disrupt markets, heat pumps are on course to become the cheapest, lowest carbon form of heating available.  

Commercial heat pump units are typically taller than domestic models and feature dual fans to deliver greater output. So smaller sites without much room for heating equipment can often be accommodated with compact units, while larger buildings may require multiple units working in tandem to meet higher heat demands.

Founded 25 years ago to give people a practical way to be a part of the solution to climate change, Good Energy supplies 100% electricity sourced directly from over 2,500 renewable generators in Britain. 

Chippenham based Good Energy also installs solar panels for homes and businesses, home batteries and heat pumps and pays homes and businesses for the clean power they share to the grid. 
 
Now the Good Energy name will feature from the 2025/26 season on the Bears’ men and women’s training wear. It is the first major sports sponsorship deal for the business, which chose the Bears as a local club with shared inclusive values.  

The multi-year partnership also fits with Bristol Sport’s sustainability goals. The group’s Project Whitebeam aims to recognise, measure and mitigate Bristol Sport’s collective impact on the environment. 

The Bristol Bears High Performance Centre has a wildflower and vegetable garden to supply produce for staff and players, while six electric vehicle charging points have been installed there. 

And, at the Bears’ home stadium, Ashton Gate, new floodlights have recently been installed, providing a 55% reduction on energy consumption, while toilet upgrades will save 18 million litres of water every year.  

Bristol Sport Chief Commercial Officer Sarah Farrar said: “This is a perfect partnership given Good Energy’s well-established place in the renewable electricity supply market and the Bristol Sport Group’s commitment to sustainability. We are very much looking forward to working with Good Energy over the coming years.” 

Good Energy’s Marketing Director Laura Wildish said: “Sport has a massive role to play in promoting sustainability and inclusivity so when we were looking for a partner for our first big sports sponsorship, we knew we wanted a local club that ticked both of those boxes.   

“We have definitely found that in Bristol Bears, who are fully on board with getting the green message out there for both households and businesses. We are so excited to see Good Energy on both the men’s and women’s training kits and the creative ideas we have for working together come to life.  

“What the Bears are doing to become a more sustainable club, their inclusivity for all and the way they play on the pitch — that’s good energy.”
