atcostenergy

ITV's tonight programme "money to burn" included a short section on potential new energy provider atcostenergy, who are hoping to provide gas and electricity at cost prices (no profit).

These seems too good to be true - I have tried to find further info on google, but other than the twitter, facebook and ITN, nothing appears. Anyone (e.g. Martin) know anything more about them?

Thanks,
John

  • I have a question. Did you sell flour as well as oven cleaner?
  • what about Ebico ?
  • I have a question what will cover overheads if it is at cost energy ?

    I fail to see what you will offer that Ebico don't and they have very good rep for payment methods and Customer Service. I think your company will be just like another Xfactor winner. A bit of publicity then you never hear of them again.

    Your self made multi millionare of a founder has made money I assume through a Business which has made that word profit So why would atcostenergy critise of energy supplier who are Businesses for making a profit

    BG's profit of 595 Million on residential energy is £36 a year from every customer hardly excessive as made out by the press.
