Im on an EDF fixed tarrif at the moment, but looking at options for when that runs out!
Anyone use Ebico?
They look good, like the not for profit bit!

Their flat rate pricing structures favour very low users, billing is by SSE whose prices they benchmark against.

I have my gas with Ebico, works for me as a low user as I much prefer to pay the quarterly given that usage will vary depending on how cold winters are and I got fed up with monthly DD never quite being "right". For electricity, and despite being a low user for that too, NPower is cheapest for me and because my use is very consistent year-on-year, I don't mind monthly DD for that.

About 50,000 people use Ebico the last time I looked.

Not for profit does not necessarily mean they are the cheapest.

I came across this other not for profit energy company the other day
http://www.open4energy.co.uk/

They appear quite expensive, (especially as they ask for the whole years standing charges up front in the first month) but that's because they give any excess to charity (about £187 a year for a typical user they suggest) so are 'not for profit' :cool:

I also use Ebico for gas as I am a low user, so I don't pay any Tiers or standing charge it worked out £80 a year cheaper than British Gas, although I still have my electric with BG as they work out cheaper than Ebico.
