The on-line accounts for several suppliers are very close, with BG Websaver 6 shading it for many people.

Ebico, despite being a non-profit making organisation, are not necessarily the cheapest.

Electricity has been expensive for some time from ebico, but gas has been competitive, especially for PPM customers.

However, with a recent reduction in prices by BG, BG now boasts the cheapest gas & electricity prices for of any UK supplier based on average consumption and comparing an a supplier's standard tariff**. I guess it's not too dissimilar with PPM tariffs, since most suppliers now charge about the same on a PPM tariff compared to a standard tariff.


**Based on average annual consumption of 20,500 kWh for gas and 3,300 kWh for single rate electricity. Comparing Standard prices against Scottish and Southern Energy, EDF Energy, npower, ScottishPower and E.ON as at 4th February 20

BG recently slashed their gas prices-but not electricity. That is why the are coming out cheaper on the comparison sites.
