Ebico supplies gas and electricity to more than 60,000 UK homes. The energy company is a fully certified social enterprise and uses its registered charity, Ebico Trust, to support fuel-poor areas and fuel poverty projects around the country.
Unlike most energy providers in the UK, Ebico is a Limited by Guarantee company and has no shareholders. This means that they cannot use any financial surpluses for purposes other than pursuing their mission, which is to fight fuel poverty.
Ebico hopes to achieve this by using any financial surpluses to support local, hands-on, projects in fuel-poor neighbourhoods across Britain via the Ebico Trust, a registered charity.
The company is partnered with SSE, so your payments, statements and meter readings will be overseen by the ‘Big Six’ supplier.
Ebico was founded in 1998 with a clear mission, “to help customers struggling with fuel poverty”. They want to do everything in their power to provide UK customers with affordable gas and electricity. In addition to this, the company wants to help households on low incomes who were unknowingly spending more than they should be on their energy bills.
They originally partnered with SSE plc to supply their energy under their own Ebico brand name. This was one of the first partnerships of its kind in the UK energy sector, after the industry made big changes to allow new suppliers to enter the market in the late 1990s, which increased overall competition and ultimately helped consumers save money.
Ebico started a new partnership in 2016 with Robin Hood Energy, a supplier managed by Nottingham City Council, and also known for their social focused efforts. The firm’s licenced supply partner, Robin Hood Energy, provides both their energy and account management services for their customers.
Since 2018, Ebico has more than 60,000 customers in the UK. Although this is a significant number, they are still relatively one of the smaller green energy suppliers. The established Oxfordshire based company has been trading for more than 20 years.
