Utilita

Utilita launched as an integrated supplier of gas, electricity and telecoms in September 2004 with three energy tariffs designed to help the consumer reduce their energy consumption. The concept was that customers would be awarded credits which could be saved and then exchanged for various energy efficiency products or services.

At launch these tariffs were named:

 

get80 with this tariff it was planned that an average customer would earn 80 credits per year resulting in a 10% saving in energy if these credits were used to obtain energy saving services from Utilita.


get130 with this tariff it was planned that an average customer would earn 130 credits per year resulting in a 10% saving in energy if these credits were used to obtain energy saving services from Utilita.


get180 with this tariff it was planned that an average customer would earn 180 credits per year resulting in a 10% saving in energy if these credits were used to obtain energy saving services from Utilita.


get280 with this tariff it was planned that an average customer would earn 280 credits per year resulting in a 10% saving in energy if these credits were used to obtain energy saving services from Utilita.

 

On the July 1, 2005 three of these tariffs were renamed:

 

get80 became EnergySaver
get180 became EnergySaverPlus
get280 became PlanetSaver

 

Customers could then decide to exchange the credits for a percentage discount from their energy costs. The percentage discount would be paid as a cashback at the end of one calendar year.

 

On the November 10, 2005 the remaining initial tariff, get130 was renamed EnergyExtraSaver.

 

However on December 7, 2005 Utilita were placed in the unenviable situation of having to write to all customers to advise that their energy accounts were being transferred to EDF Energy on the standard EDF prices. Electricity accounts were transferred December 10, 2005, and gas accounts on December 17, 2005.

 

In February 2007 Utilita re-launched with three main tariffs:

 

planetsaver is the first dual fuel, carbon neutral tariff offered to domestic customers in the UK. 

 

Customers are awarded planetpoints that are automatically redeemed so that CO2 emissions from the gas consumed are immediately offset with Climate Care and electricity is immediately sourced from 100% renewable projects in the UK and by purchasing Renewable Obligations Certificates. Customers also receive a comprehensive, free energy Home MOT.

planetsaver customers can opt-out of receiving carbon neutral gas and electricity, and instead redeem their planetpoints for energy saving products and technologies that will reduce their energy consumption by 30%, over a three year period.

 

The energysaverplus tariff saves energy at no additional cost to the customer. Customers also receive a high level of planetpoints, a Free Home Energy Survey and energy saving advice.

 

The energysaver tariff is a price-led, discounted product that still is able to offer energy efficiency through a lower level of planetpoints, a Free Home Energy Survey and energy saving advice
