Rebel Energy and Ebico Living Announce Groundbreaking Partnership to Slash Home Energy Standing Charges
- Rebel Energy launches a strategic partnership with Ebico Living
- Partnership unites the UK’s first not-for-profit energy company with Rebel Energy’s mission-driven focus on affordability and sustainability
- New energy deal delivers the UK’s lowest fixed-rate standing charge for home energy through both smart and conventional meters
Rebel Energy and Ebico Living have joined forces to revolutionise the home energy market, bringing affordable, sustainable warmth to homes across the UK. By combining the strengths of Ebico, the UK’s first not-for-profit energy company, with Rebel Energy’s innovative approach to energy supply, this partnership promises to deliver real cost savings to households.
Under this partnership, Ebico will continue to provide its energy plans through its Ebico Living brand, while Rebel Energy will supply the energy to Ebico customers. Together, we are addressing one of the biggest financial burdens facing energy consumers today – standing charges.
At Rebel Energy, we understand the strain that high standing charges place on households, particularly for those on standard variable tariffs. Many families are paying as much as £375* per year in standing charges alone, even before using any energy. But today marks a major shift in the energy market. With the introduction of the Ebico Signature energy tariff, we are slashing standing charges to just £147** – the lowest rate available for fixed-rate home energy. This means households can save an average of £228 annually.
Not only does the Signature tariff offer the lowest standing charge, but it also includes highly competitive electricity and gas rates, making it the most affordable choice for households looking to cut costs and reduce their carbon footprint.
“At Rebel Energy, we are excited to partner with Ebico Living to bring about a significant change in the home energy market. This collaboration aligns with our mission to end fuel poverty in the UK. By offering the lowest fixed rate standing charges available, we are helping to ease the financial burden on households and promoting a fairer energy market. Together with Ebico, we are committed to delivering innovative solutions that benefit our customers and the environment.”
Dan Bates, CEO – Rebel Energy
The Ebico Signature tariff is particularly beneficial for smaller households with lower energy usage, for whom standing charges can be disproportionately expensive. By working together, Rebel Energy and Ebico are proving that affordable, sustainable home energy doesn’t have to be out of reach for low-income families.
“We are absolutely delighted to be able to announce this partnership with Rebel Energy. Together, we are embarking on a journey with joint objectives, combining our strengths to offer our customers great energy deals that also support the wider affordability of sustainable living. Rebel Energy shares our focus on the twin imperatives of home energy decarbonisation and affordability and together we are determined that the interests of low-income households should not be forgotten in Britain’s vital transition to Net Zero. We’re proud that, through our partnership with Rebel Energy, we can offer ‘Signature’, our first new energy deal in three years. Signature enables us to offer savings to smaller households. With lower heating requirements, such households can find standing charges a disproportionate financial burden. Signature offers huge savings on standing charges – great news for all householders, but particularly for those with lower energy use.”
