Fair Price Gas & Electricity + No Standing Charge!

I've just recently switched my electric supply to a Not-for-Profit provider called Ebico.

They have around 25,000 homes/customers and target low income families/individuals and have an ethical policy of not making profit out of people who can not afford high Gas and Electric prices.

I joined as I was being charge 19p a day Standing Charge with my previous supplier - just for having their meter and I thought this was unfair.

ANYONE can join, regardless of income or status and all are charged the same FAIR prices.

Payment methods range from monthly Direct debit, quarterly whole bill, weekly payment card, two weekly card, prepayment meter (no extra charges) etc, and you don't need a bank account to pay.

If ur in debt or have a poor credit rating you can choose to have a prepayment meter to pay as you go with no bills and no extra high and unfair charges added to the prepayment tariff - just the same fair rate that every customer receives.

I wanted to help spread the word about Ebico.co.uk as they don't advertise but rely on word of mouth, press and media articles and customer recommendations.

Ebico has no standing charge.

IS a Not for Profit Company.

Charge the same to everyone whether you have an ordinary meter or a PRE-Payment one which uses cards or keys etc

There is no extra charge for having the prepayment meter whereas some companies charge as much as £1.07 a DAY just for having a prepayment meter and then the tariff is higher as well - thus making an unfair profit out of those in society who can least afford the high cost of fuel

Have a look at their website http://ww.ebico.co.uk for more details, below is some text from their website...
