The UK-based energy company Good Energy and offshore wind developer DONG Energy have announced a partnership which will see Good Energy source offshore wind generated electricity for its customers for the first time.

The deal secures 12% of the output of the 210MW Westermost Rough offshore wind farm operated by DONG Energy in the North Sea, enough renewable electricity to power more than 26,000 average homes

Good Energy owns and operates two onshore wind farms and seven solar farms and also buys power from more than 1,000 independent renewable generators across the UK..

Juliet Davenport OBE, founder and chief executive of Good Energy, said: "We're delighted to be working with DONG Energy to bring offshore wind power to our customers for the first time. This agreement will help us meet ever-increasing demand for 100% renewable electricity as our customer base continues to grow."

The agreement is for an initial period of 12 months but is likely to be extended for the longer term as part of the wider cooperation between the two companies. It is also intended that the volume of power purchased by Good Energy from DONG Energy will increase over time.

Søren Scherfig, Head of Trading & Portfolio Management at DONG Energy, said: "We have an ambition to support the energy transformation in UK and become one of the UK's leading energy suppliers to industrial & commercial customers and independent retailers. We want to supply sustainable, reliable and affordable energy to our customers.

"This agreement with Good Energy is an important milestone as it's the first time a domestic supplier in the UK will buy energy from a specific DONG Energy offshore wind farm."

The Westermost Rough offshore wind farm is located in the UK North Sea, approximately 8km off the East coast of Yorkshire near Withernsea. The project's offshore construction began in 2014 with the first turbine erected. First power was generated in September 2014 and full power output was achieved in May 2015. The plant’s 35 Siemens 6MW wind turbines give the project a total capacity of 210MW and will provide clean renewable energy for more than 150,000 UK households.
