Good Energy kicked off this week with an interesting set of results, confirming a shift in focus towards a more ‘streamlined’ business model with a focus on battery storage, electric vehicles and green business consultancy work. Good will follow other utilities into an energy storage market that’s becoming increasingly competitive, and this week Solarwatt formally revealed its upgraded MyReserve product which is to hit UK shelves next year. Elsewhere this week Greencoat acquired a further 75MW of UK solar, and Forrest secured a lucrative five-year solar tender from Southern Water.
