Some notes on Good Energy #GOOD VALUATION SUMMARY Market Capitalisation = £29m Net Cash = £19m Enterprise Value = £10m Net Asset Value = £38m WHAT DO THEY DO? Good Energy is a supplier of 100% renewable power and an innovator in energy services. It has long term power purchase agreements with a community of 1,700 independent UK generators who are independent businesses, non profits and local communities, spread all over Britain.  Since it was founded 20 years ago, the Company has been at the forefront of the charge towards a cleaner, distributed energy system. Its mission is to power a cleaner, greener world and make it simple to generate, share, store, use and travel by clean power. Its ambition is to support one million homes and businesses to cut carbon from their energy and transport used by 2025. Good Energy is recognised as a leader in this market, through green kite accreditation with the London Stock Exchange, Which? Eco Provider status and Gold Standard Uswitch Green Tariff Accreditation for all tariffs. THE CEO In April 2021 Nigel Pocklington was announced as the successor to Juliet Davenport the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Good Energy. This transition is part of the continuing evolution of Good Energy from its roots as a simple green energy provider to a newer world green energy services and 'mobility as a service' provider. Nigel most recently served as Chief Commercial Officer of Moneysupermarket.com Group plc. Prior to this, he held a variety of senior roles within Expedia Inc., including President of eBookers and Chief Marketing Officer of Hotels.com. He spent a decade of his early career at Pearson plc, including a period leading the digital operations of the Financial Times. A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE COMPANY Good Energy have 2 different parts to the business. They supply Renewable energy to domestics & business customers: On 20 January 2022 they announced the disposal of its 47.5MW generation portfolio to Bluefield Solar Income Fund for a total consideration of up to £24.5m. This generation portfolio of two wind farms & six solar farms supplied 15% of their customers. They now have long term power purchase agreements with a community of 1,700 independent UK generators that supply their 277,000 customers. This sale of their generation portfolio was part of their strategy to transition to a higher margin energy services provider. Energy Services, this includes Solar Installation & generation, Heat Pumps & Transport Through acquisitions they now have a business that can install solar panels, heat pumps and manage customers generation. They are the second-largest feed-in-tariff operator in the UK, and has one of the highest profitability/customer in the industry. Transport: They also own 49.9% of Zap-Map, the UK's No.1 EV charging map iOS/Android app. It allows users to search for EV charging points, plan journeys and pay for charging. It has 600,000 customers and recently raised £9m, £5.3m was from from Fleetcor, (NYSE: FLT) is a leading global business payments company that helps businesses spend less by providing innovative solutions that enable and control expense-related purchasing and payment processes. FORECASTS Year Revenue Net profit 2023E £267m £1.75m 2024E £258m £4.55m The net margin is therefore expected to increase from 0.6% in 2023 to 1.7% in 2024, which is more than doubling. They had £38m gross cash at the end of May, which is considerably larger than its market cap. Good Energy rejected a 400p hostile bid in 2021. Canaccord, their brokers, have a target of 475p, current sp 174p. Canaccord: “At our unchanged 475p target, which continues to be based on a sum of-parts, the stock would trade at 13x/8x 2024/25E P/E, and still with a substantial net cash position. We remain Buyers” MY OPINION Good Energy are the original renewable energy company have loyal customers who are of the same ethos, which is to champion green energy decentralisation. As a company they are profitable, pay a dividend and have a big chunk of cash, around £20m. Some of this will be used to acquire complimentary businesses to enable them to expand further into the green energy, higher margin, services sector. This is a sector that is growing and will continue to grow for decades backed by global regulation to cut carbon emissions. Their revenue generation of £240m+ pa means even a slight improvement in margins, which will happen as they transition from energy supplier to energy service provider, could see a major positive re-rating on their valuation.

Quantum Quote: “If you can't love yourself, how the hell are you going to love anyone else?” – Ru Paul Isn't it a bit ironic that we – human beings – don't really prefer plastic jewelry and other “fake” possessions - but it's been years and we're still living with plastics? Don't we know that plastics are all fake? That's why it's such an insult when someone is called “plastic”. The most easily seen environmental issue on this planet is the continuous use of plastics. Virtually all plastics come from fossil fuels, and end up in landfills, or in the oceans and everywhere else… We all have the power to choose what we bring inside our homes. And there are a lot of ways to recycle plastics into something more sustainable - for both our lives, and the planet's. Before you buy any product, ask yourself: What is it made of? Who made it? How long are you going to use it? What are you going to do once it comes to the end of its life? Considering these things whenever we purchase products might sound exhausting, but in reality, aside from saving money, it also takes us a step closer towards sustaining life on Earth. Listen to this episode with Andrea Fox and check the Age of Plastic Podcast for more insights. Andrea Fox is the host of the Age of Plastic Podcast – an environmental podcast with tips on how to live plastic free! Host Andrea Fox tackles big ethical issues in the hope of overcoming the climate change overwhelm and the guilt from our use of single-use plastics.

The most immediate climate issue that's on the table RIGHT NOW is passing the Build Back Better Act – the largest piece of climate legislation that's ever been proposed in the history of our country. That single bill will put us on track to meet – and even exceed – our goals, which is hugely important and necessary if we want life on this planet to continue. Multiply your climate impact by a factor of 1,000 with #CodeRedClimate & CodeRedCongress.com (https://coderedcongress.com/) SuperNova #1. There are ways you can live life more sustainably. There are so many things you are able to do without even lifting a finger to be more sustainable and to live in a slightly more waste-free, plastic-free life. SuperNova #2. Everyone is capable of doing a certain amount of research, and every small step is getting us to a better, more sustainable planet for everyone. SuperNova #3. There is no one solution. It has to be a little bit of everything. Worst Career Moment: “In terms of not being the most energy efficient I could have been and maybe not considering the climate. There was one year where my husband and I probably went on a trip every single month, and a few of those were long haul trips. Looking back, that was a heavy carbon footprint year. That was definitely a time where I look back and go, ‘I'm gonna offset my carbon footprint.' Please don't buy stuff that people don't need. There's a lot of stuff in the landfill that I wish I didn't buy.” – Andrea Fox Aha Moment: “AirCarbon is very exciting. Plastic alternatives really are exciting in terms of decarbonizing the economy. I also think Juliet Davenport is a great example. She used to be the CEO of Good Energy here in the UK, and now she works on energy research and renewables. Realizing that there can be some green washing around your energy provider, but even just saying ‘I want a renewable energy provider' is a message to the energy market. I think everyone is capable of doing a certain amount of research, and every small step is getting us to a better, more sustainable planet for everyone.” – Andrea Fox Best Advice She's Ever Received: “Done is better than perfect. Don't let perfection ruin just creating and starting something.” – Andrea Fox Personal Habit that Contributes to Success: “The Pomodoro Method where if you're really struggling to start something, just set a timer for 20 minutes and concentrate on it for 20 minutes. Normally, by the time you've done that, you're on a roll and you've already made a big start.” – Andrea Fox Internet Resource: Amyam Nguyen from @sustainableandsocial Book Recommendation: “The Artist's Way” by Julia Cameron; “Consumed: The Need for Collective Change: Colonialism, Climate Change, and Consumerism” by Aja Barber; and “Is It Really Green?: Everyday Eco Dilemmas Answered” by Georgina Wilson-Powell Magic Wand: “I would ban virgin plastic and fossil fuel extraction. Whether we do that with an out and out ban or whether that's tax incentives or disincentives, I would love to see us using the plastic that we have already created and turning that into plastic products and really using our recycling, because so little of our recycling actually is turned back into new products. I think that would definitely speed up the move to more renewable energy sources, more renewable energy jobs, and ending this endless cycle of fossil fuel plastic that we're stuck with at the moment.” – Andrea Fox WTF or F: “We've had some extreme weather in London recently which has seen the tube flooding. I remember someone on a podcast saying we need to think about the climate for the next generation. Why not just be selfish and think about the climate for yourself? And he was like, I love skiing. I'm not going to get to do that in a rapidly warming Earth and I was like, I love skiing. So yeah, I suppose my extreme weather would be - let's keep the temperatures as they are so I can continue to skate, please.” – Andrea Fox Most Energized About Today: “I'm most energized about social connections and connecting to nature. I'm looking forward to seeing my family very soon. I'm looking forward to seeing some friends later on this year. And to get out in nature. I'm asking everyone who's listening to the Age of Plastic podcast this season to listen to the podcast when you're outside and tag me on your post on social media to encourage me to get outside. Because I need to do it more. I think we all feel energized by that, don't we?” – Andrea Fox Next Step: “I love supporting petitions from my guests on the podcast and campaigns, and stopping the oil field is one at the moment. Putting pressure on the Prime Minister here in the UK to not to open up the extra oil field and prioritize renewables. But I want to sort of work on my own magic wand. Maybe the Age of Plastic podcast could ban virgin plastic in the UK. Who knows? But I want to focus on one doing something like that with the community we built around the podcast.” – Andrea Fox Parting Advice: “It's okay to fail. No one really knows what they're doing, frankly. So just try and start it and they will come.” – Andrea Fox Connect: Email: iamandreafox@gmail.com Podcast: https://podfollow.com/age-of-plastic/ Instagram: @ageofplasticpodcast Instagram: @helloiamandreafox Twitter: @andrea_fox
Taking inspiration from President Kennedy's Moonshot which united people around a goal to put man on the moon and spurred the development of new technology in the 1960s, the Earthshot Prize is centred around five simple but ambitious goals for our planet. Chhavi Sachdev announces the winners of the inaugural prize and discusses how smart ideas from individual innovators and small companies can influence the upcoming climate debate at COP26 in Glasgow. Prizes like this prove that there are clever ideas being developed to ease our pressure on the environment, but how can those ideas be harnessed and scaled up to make a big difference globally? Chhavi is joined by Inger Andersen, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme and by Juliet Davenport, founder of the green power company Good Energy, to discuss the best ways to make smart ideas part of the solution to the planet's biggest problems. Producer: Alasdair Cross
We're doing our bit, we're buying green energy right? Not always. In fact, a third of the energy that's marketed as renewable is in fact greenwashed by companies using loopholes in legislation. Juliet Davenport set up Good Energy in 1999, the UK's first 100% renewable electricity supplier. Today the company produces its own electricity, generated in Britain from sun, wind, water and bioenergy, on their own solar and wind farms – as well as a network of 1600 renewable generators. In this episode, Mary talks to Juliet about how she started her own energy company, really buying green and how we as consumers can wisely choose who we buy from. Mary's new book, Rebuild: how to thrive in the new Kindness Economy is available to buy now.

In this episode we chat to the incredible Juliet Davenport OBE, and creator of Good Energy – the UK's first 100% renewable energy company. Juliet founded Good Energy in 1999, for the purpose of creating a way for people and businesses to be part of the solution to climate change. Having grown up in a high carbon world (her father is the legendary rallying co-driver John Davenport), Juliet spent most of her time as a child either on the side of a race track or watching fast cars in a forest. Juliet went on to study physics at Oxford, before focusing on atmospheric physics and namely the physics of climate change. So whilst the journey of Good Energy may have originated in Oxford, today Good Energy supplies renewable energy to more than 73k households & businesses in the UK, dedications which earned her an OBE in 2013 for services to renewables. Chatting to Juliet was a pleasure and in today's episode we discuss her journey, her dogs, Good Energy's Youth Board, combating the Covid pandemic and the challenges faced and what she envisages for the future once the pandemic abates.

In today’s 40 Minute Mentor episode, we’re joined by the CEO and Founder of Good Energy, Juliet Davenport OBE. From childhood dreams of being a racing driver, to becoming one of the leading voices in tackling climate change, Juliet’s been on an incredible journey and we’re so excited for her to share it with us in today’s episode. Juliet launched Good Energy in 2002, and almost 20 years later, Good Energy now supports over 73,000 homes, businesses and communities, which has led to Juliet being rewarded with an OBE for services to renewables. We cover some really fascinating topics in this episode, including: - The lessons Juliet and the team have learned while building a successful mission-driven business and how they’ve adapted their growth plans in the face of the global pandemic. - The importance of getting hiring new talent right and making sure the whole team (old and new) share a similar mindset and ultimately get behind the mission of the business. - And how you can make changes in your own life, focusing on where you live, what you eat, and how you get around, to help move towards net-zero emissions. Juliet is so passionate about Good Energy’s mission and making sure everyone enjoys the journey that they’re on. She talks with refreshing honesty about the hurdles she’s faced, and the tricky decisions she’s had to make over the years, which we know many founders will resonate with. If you’re thinking of building a mission-driven business yourself, you definitely won’t want to miss this episode and Juliet’s crucial insights from her own journey with Good Energy.

Juliet Davenport has been the firm's boss for two decades, and joins us to explain what makes energy good or miserable, why she can't be doing with moving to Mars with Elon Musk, and why she's letting children run her company.Sustainababble is your friendly environment podcast, out weekly.
