![]() | A fair price for everybody! |
Evidence from a recent survey carried out by the Department of Town and Country Planning at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne shows that one in five households do not have a current bank or building society account.
Having no bank account means that many of the bill payment methods used by the remaining 80 per cent of the population are unavailable. Not only that, but the savings available by paying for something by direct debit are also unavailable.
Competition in the gas market has brought lower prices and freedom of choice. With most gas tariffs, how you pay impacts on how much you pay. So customers using prepayment meters pay up to 20% more for their gas than direct debit customers - and yet are probably less able to afford it.
Equigas is a new approach to gas prices, which offers fairness to all through EBICo - a non-profit making company. Through Equigas it can direct the benefits of gas competition to those who have not been able to do anything about it - until now.
Equigas offers a single unit rate and no standing charge for your gas supply - whatever payment method you choose. So the same price will apply for direct debit, quarterly, and pre payment customers. The price is 1.638p including VAT per kWh of gas used.
