Ecopower Supply has made every effort to avoid another price increase to you our valued customer, but we can no longer deliver electricity at rates that have become unsustainable. Therefore, we are cutting overheads by discontinuing our Bike Draw and we are increasing our Standard Unit Rate by 35%, effective from 7th May 2022. See the Ecopower Supply page for the new rates that will apply.
