Commercial fit
What the supplier offers
- Business renewable electricity
- Business gas
- SME and bespoke large-user contracts
Renewable position: Publishes a 100% renewable electricity fuel mix and describes a not-for-dividend investment model. Its gas still includes fossil gas, with green gas and carbon-removal elements described separately.
This is an independent complaints indicator, not a customer-satisfaction score. Lower is better. It reflects cases reaching Citizens Advice, its Extra Help Unit and the Energy Ombudsman, weighted by severity and divided by customer numbers.
Before signing
Points to check
- Ecotricity applies ethical exclusions to some sectors.
- Review the difference between electricity generation, certificates, green gas content and carbon claims.
- Recalculate the quote with your own annual consumption, contract dates and every known fee.
- Confirm broker remuneration, renewal terms, payment method and the complaint escalation route in writing.
