The alliance will see L&H market and sell GO energy’s retail energy and solar products and services via it distribution network of 30,000 commercial customers. In turn, GO energy will stall the 1.1MW of solar under a power plant agreement arrangement with L&H, on 45 of its stores and office sites.

The two companies said in a statement the alliance “acknowledges that traditional energy retailing models are undergoing a transformation,” and that customers are choosing to the make-up of their energy mix, including by utilising renewable energy alternatives.
