The Energy Basket (EB) is a service for buying electricity and gas. It regularly out-performs many other energy brokers and saves customers money. During this energy crisis its wholesale energy costs have remained so low that Governments Energy Bill Relief Scheme limits have not been reached. That is to say that the costs have been low enough for customers not to be entitled to the relief. In other words, if you are with a supplier now whose costs mean you are getting relief you could find your level of support decreases by 30-50% when the Government withdraws the relief in April. EB customers will not notice any effect.

Important: Existing customers will soon receive Letters of Agreement (LOA) which they must sign by April if they are to remain within the energy basket. New customers have until May to sign theirs.
