About Ecotricity

Written by the company

Britain's overall greenest energy company, supplying 100% green electricity and a mix of fossil and sustainable green gas to customers across Britain. Plus, we’re the world’s first (and still the only!) vegan-certified energy supplier, backed by both Viva!, the vegan charity, and The Vegan Society.

We’re not like most other suppliers

What makes Ecotricity different is that we’re not-for-dividend – instead, we take the money we make from our customers’ bills and use it to build new forms of green energy. So far, we’ve built 28 green sites - 24 wind parks, 3 sun parks and 1 green gasmill, with even more on the way.

We call this turning ‘Bills into Mills’ - it means that by paying your bill every month you’re helping fight climate change. Every new windmill or sun park we build reduces Britain’s reliance on fossil fuels to generate electricity.

Join us and together we’ll build a sustainable future by replacing fossil fuels with green energy!

Again

Again. Billing. Can't log in - again. Why does this idiotic firm keep moving the goal posts?. Says my user name is "invalid". Since when? No I will NOT pay by standing order. Would I really let this inefficient outfit
into my bank account. No I will NOT have a smart meter. Reasons - ditto. They want me to re-register - AGAIN. I need to do that every time I pay a bill.

Ecotricity …the very best

I have been with Ecotricity for many years, and have been totally satisfied with their service throughout . Their ethos chimes with mine , to help save this planet ,on which we ALL rely, in whatever way we can . I love that they continue to build renewable energy infrastructure around the country and use the money that customers pay, to do so. Bills into Mills as their slogan says . Can’t recommend them highly enough .

Shame there wasn’t a no star option.

Shame there wasn’t a no star option.
They are a disgrace.
I opened an account 3 months ago and sent readings.

They have charged me monthly but still no bill.
After eventually contacting them and being asked if I am well they say they don’t have the initial readingsand could I send them again!

I am still awaiting resolution after 3 months and numerous messages.

I have never come across such appalling service - avoid like the plague.

Being an Ecotricity customer means I am helping to reduce carbon in the environment. Their customer service is brilliant; always a human to answer the phone, never a bot for assistance. I love them.

As a provider of my gas and electric, great

As a provider of my gas and electric, I have no issue at all with Ecotricity, a company I have used for very many years. And on the rare occasions when I've needed any customer service, it's been very good.
It's great to support a company providing "clean" energy and doing so in such an ethical and community-focused way.
I do have a personal issue, though, and this relates to Bowyers Wood, that Ecotricity/Ecotalk rightly communicate about. I was a very willing volunteer offering qualities that should have been grabbed and utilised. Instead, I was left frustrated and apparently discarded. Enough said.

We've been with Ecotricity for years for our energy consumption and solar panels. Rarely had any reason to contact and when we do the phone is answered quickly by a human and all are very helpful. Happy to be supporting green energy too.

Wonderful customer service agents

The customer service agents I have spoken to are so lovely and helpful. I wish I could remember their names!

I am happy with the service and have just moved home and the whole process has been so much easier than almost all other suppliers I've had to deal with.

And they're pro palestine which is one of the main reasons I chose to move over to Ecotricity a year or so ago.

Customer service was great

Customer service was great. I had Lauren helping me out and she was very professional and helpful, even though my signal was not very good because of where I live. Everything was done efficiently and communicated well. Overall great experience.

Good Experience

Got through without speaking to AI. Was assisted by very helpful and intelligent adviser, Liyarna. She set up my account and arranged the switch over. Very friendly and efficient.

Should rename themselves etrocity.

Should rename themselves etrocity.
No comms. on how the switch is progressing 5 weeks now. App is crap and unable to add meter readings. No response to email. And large balance stuck with octopus because these clowns haven't provided a final meter reading to my old supplier. If you are considering a change don't.

Poor app and customer service

Switched two months ago. The app and website do not work as you can't upload meter readings. These have to be emailed in and even then aren't updated on your account. I've contacted customer service twice to get this fixed and frankly they don't seem to care! Intial impression is that I wish I'd stayed with my previous provider.

Hello Leanne,

I'm sorry that the online account isn't receiving your meter readings as expected. This is because we are waiting for the final meter technical details to link all of the details up, once finalised you will be able to submit your readings. I have raised a case to review and try and resolve this matter quickly for you.

Best wishes,
Emily

a curate's egg

Whilst I have had no issues with readings and billings their response to my request to have their partner Calisen delete my data and to stop pestering me to have a Gen2 smart meter has failed. I still get pestering from Calisen.
I don't understand why more than a month has elapsed since I objected, and nothing has changed. Maybe the Data Protection officers from both companies either have been on long annual leaves, or company policy is to ignore Data Protection legislation.
Oh dear!
