Ebico Ltd
Who are we?
Ebico Ltd is a not-for-profit gas and electricity supplier aiming to offer a better, fairer deal for domestic energy to British households. We’re also an expanding enterprise committed to working both for social justice and the wise use of the earth’s resources, in a variety of ways.
Founded in 1998, Ebico has been making a real difference for ten years, especially to low-income households – but also to the planet. Our title acronym derives from our original name: the Equitable Billing Company. We’re at the forefront of fair energy pricing, and well over 50,000 UK homes have already switched to Ebico’s fair tariffs.
Why do people choose Ebico? Many choose us because our prices are cheaper for them. And many others choose us because they know our prices are fairer for everyone. Still others choose us for our innovative carbon-offsetting service, and because our tariff structure is simple, transparent and straight-forward.
Our core business aim is to reverse the dominant market trends within our own commercial ventures. Instead of competing for the business of those who can spend most, by offering them the best deals and cheaper rates, we use the combined purchasing power of all our customers to achieve ethical results that benefit the majority – while putting first those who have least.
Ethical and Environmental Policy
Our motivation and ethos
Today’s energy prices continue to rise steeply within a highly competitive market dominated by energy ‘giants’ – the big-name suppliers whose driving motivation is to make increasing profits.
This means that the number of UK households struggling against the misery of fuel poverty is now estimated to be around four million. Often these households include the most vulnerable in our society: the elderly, children, the disabled, and single parent families. Read more about the effect of energy prices on fuel poverty, and how it affects individuals in our communities.
Ebico was set up specifically to help counter the market pressures that are increasing poverty and heightening social inequity. Our guiding principles are:
- to seek out ways to support those most disadvantaged by dominant market trends
- to redress the bias towards profit in the energy market by offering viable alternatives that are equitable and fair
- to initiate and practise wise stewardship of resources.
These principles are motivated by and based on the Christian gospel.
