It makes you feel guilty for not being their customer and you switch to them for electricity and gas at home......?

I'd happily switch to ecotricity if only they'd match the deal I'm on!

I have single rate zero standing charge tariff from ebico. I pay a single, known price per unit that I use and nothing else.

every once in a while we hear how complicated energy tariffs are, yet they don't have to be dual rate or units + charges the Industry formalised pricing structure does allow for a zero standing charge, yet ecotricity won't offer that product. Every time I ask they are 'price-matching the big providers' (who are trying to take lots of profits for the shareholders!)

If you have a large PV solar system or are a low power user(single/small family) I'd advise seeking out a zero standing charge provider.

They cost slightly more than the web-only dual fuel deal I had with British Gas. However I would rather ecotricity make a profit from me and use it for good than british gas make a profit from me and use it for evil.

No everything in life needs to be a money driven calculation.

Exactly

"Mum, Dad, did you buy gas from fracking wells.....?"
"Ummm, yes, you see, buying it not from fracking wells would have cost an extra £4.83 per month"

Is not a conversation I ever want to have.
