General Information
Equigas and Equipower are part of EBICo which was launched in 1999. Equigas launched an innovative domestic gas tariff which enabled customers paying by direct debit to share savings made by their payment method, with pre payment meter customers. Lower prices can then be offered to of often lower income households.
Selling points
Equigas and Equipower claim to have the only tariffs in the country which offer a fair price to all consumers by charging customers the same unit rate no matter how they pay or how much energy is used.

Ways to pay your bill

In addition, Equipower now offer a deal to those customers who wish to generate
their own electricity from a renewable source (wind or water turbine or
photovoltaic panels). They will supply and fit, all for free, to any Equipower
customer who wishes to install renewable microgeneration, an export meter
and they will also take on all the registration paperwork for them. They will then pay
the customer 4p/kWh for all the electricity they generate and an additional 3.8p/kWh
for all the electricity they export to the grid.

I’ve just moved to Ebico and found them very easy to talk to. I particularly like their billing model and presentation of their prices.
All energy companies should be obliged to have a similar payment calculator similar to Ebico and selectable for each of their tariffs.
There is no excuse for this it is a big step for ensuring customers are on the right tariff.
I hope Scottish Hydro release those figures for CO2 / kWh soonish as I am motivated by green as well as social issues.
Are their any preliminary values available?
Used Equigas and Equipower for a couple of years now. No problems. They are certainly cheaper than my previous nationally known supplier.
I purchased a flat in London and I’ll have the key next 10th sept. As I’m coming directly from Italy that day, I’d like to have soon gas and electricity on. How do I have to do? Could you please help me?
I thought this was supposed to be a non profit organization, then how is it a 0845 456 0170 number to contact them with, was going to switch but not now.
At present I am using e.on, and I have noticed that my weekly pay as you go meter charge has gone up from £1.50 per week to £3.38 per week without me being consulted, I have a few friends who have changed over to your company and still maintained there pay as you go meter, could you inform me of your tariffs, I do not have any debt, the meter has been in the house since I moved there and it works well for me.
I find Equipower/gas one of the cheapest around but Southern Electric who send out the bills are a PAIN (proberly trying to get the most money for the least work from Equi)
Left this company as expensive due to fixed tariff. Joined when wanting to be ethical but when realised a trading name for Southern Electric which gives air miles as prizes, not impressed. Penalises unless low user
Excellent and convenient customer service. Very competitive energy prices especially for dual fuel. Admire the ethical stand also.
I wish to compare your tariff for electricity.
I was with equipower and moved to EDF who promised lower rates. This has not been the case and as a low user I am applying for a transfer back . The service is good and the fair tariff appeals no daily standing charges great.
