Packages on offer

Ecotricity offers two electricity products, Old Energy and New Energy.

New Energy re-invests much of its profit into building new wind turbines. In 2005, 23% of the electricity supplied to ecotricity's customers was generated by their own wind turbines (just under 39 GWh or 39 000 MWh). The remainder was purchased from the wholesale market, reflecting the UK average generation mix (gas, coal, nuclear and CHP, etc ).

User Comments

Appalling service! I wanted to go with them to 'do my bit' as they support green electricity - took 3 months of asking to get my welcome pack and hence my account number and 7 months to get a bill. By that time I owed over £180!

Through my various calls to them I was advised it had been sent out, but in fact it hadn't been sent out - it had been lost along the way. It was the first they had heard of it - no one even knew what was going on. I then set up a direct debit and never received information and bills again until I pushed and made a number of calls.

When I moved house I moved suppliers. Even when I gave them my reasons for leaving they didn't seem bothered, everyone you speak to seems tired and otherwise engaged. It certainly doesn't offer decent customer service. I am reluctant to even give them 1 star but there is nothing less!
