The Ekwateur Electricity 100% Green Variable Plan features a variable price that changes monthly based on market supply conditions and network fees. The electricity is sourced from a 100% renewable mix including hydraulic, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and solar thermal energy, certified through European Guarantees of Origin. Subscribers can personalize their contract by choosing their preferred French producer. The contract is open-ended, with no long-term price commitment, and prices are announced at least 30 days in advance to ensure transparency.

What do our experts think about Ekwateur Electricité 100% verte variable ?

The variable pricing offers somewhat competitive rates but comes with a high subscription fee and monthly price fluctuations that lack long-term stability. Although the green energy mix is commendable, consumers seeking price security or guaranteed savings might find better options elsewhere. Rated C by Selectra, this plan suits those prioritizing renewable energy and flexibility over fixed pricing benefits. Selectra's analysis highlights solid environmental credentials but warns about unpredictable costs over time.

The Voiture Électrique plan features fixed electricity prices for one year, with a special 21% discount on off-peak kWh rates compared to regulated tariffs, ideal for nighttime EV charging. The electricity is 100% renewable, sourced from hydraulic, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and solar thermal energies, certified by European Guarantees of Origin. This offer is exclusively for owners of electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, who may need to provide vehicle registration for eligibility. It excludes standard base rate options and offers a unique structure focused on optimized EV charging costs.

What do our experts think about Ekwateur Voiture Électrique ?

This offer provides price stability with fixed rates for one year and good incentives for nighttime EV charging. However, high peak-hour prices and expensive subscription fees reduce overall savings. Unlike some competitors offering competitive 24/7 rates, this plan’s high daytime costs make it less attractive. The fixed price does not cover potential tax increases, adding uncertainty. Overall, the value for money rates a D on the Selectra Score, reflecting moderate pricing but limited benefits. – Selectra

The Electricité Verte Exclusive Selectra plan offers fixed electricity prices for 12 months, with the kWh price set at 7% below regulated tariffs. It provides 100% renewable electricity sourced from a mix of hydraulic, wind, photovoltaic, biomass, geothermal, and solar thermal energies, all certified by European Guarantees of Origin.

What do our experts think about Ekwateur Electricité Verte Exclusive Selectra ?

Although not the cheapest on the market, this offer provides a real chance to save money while consuming 100% green electricity. The one-year fixed price is reassuring but does not protect against tax increases, a common issue with fixed tariffs. With a Selectra Score of B, it ranks well but remains less competitive price-wise. Overall, a solid choice for those prioritizing green energy with moderate budget expectations.

Gaz Naturel 100% Biogaz Variable by Ekwateur

The Gaz Naturel 100% Biogaz Variable plan features a variable price that changes monthly based on market conditions and network fees, with price updates provided at least 30 days in advance. The gas is 100% renewable biomethane sourced exclusively from French producers, certified by European Guarantees of Origin. Unlike most offers, the price per kWh is uniform throughout France, regardless of gas tariff zones. This contract has no minimum commitment and can be terminated at any time, offering customers flexibility alongside a fully green gas supply.

What do our experts think about Ekwateur Gaz Naturel 100% Biogaz Variable ?

This offer delivers a notably low kWh price for 100% biogas, but remains more expensive than the standard benchmark price due to a high subscription fee. Its monthly price variability can be significant, which might deter budget-conscious users. For those seeking a greener yet more affordable solution, Ekwateur’s 15% biogas offer is recommended. Overall, the plan scores a D on the Selectra Score, reflecting moderate quality and pricing compared to competitors. Transparency on price changes is good, but price fluctuations remain a weakness.

Gaz Naturel 15% Biogaz Variable by Ekwateur

The Gaz Naturel 15% Biogaz Variable plan features a variable price that adjusts monthly according to market conditions, announced at least 30 days in advance. It includes 15% renewable biomethane sourced from French producers with partial Guarantees of Origin, ensuring a green contribution within the standard gas mix. This offer is unique because the gas price is uniform across all French tariff zones, regardless of location, and allows customers to terminate anytime without penalty.

What do our experts think about Ekwateur Gaz Naturel 15% Biogaz Variable ?

Though the plan offers a kWh price below the market benchmark despite partial biogas content, a high subscription fee reduces overall value, especially for low consumption households. It’s best suited for larger gas users, like gas-heated homes. The Selectra Score is D, reflecting average price competitiveness but limited by cost structure and price variability. Selectra advises cautious consideration based on consumption level.

Gaz Naturel 15% Biogaz Fixe by Ekwateur

The Gaz Naturel 15% Biogaz Fixe plan offers a fixed kWh price for 12 months, ensuring price stability on gas consumption, though taxes and regulated costs may vary. It delivers a mix of 85% natural gas and 15% renewable biogas sourced exclusively from French biomethane producers, certified by European guarantees of origin. This offer includes both gas supply and network access management at a uniform price across all French zones. No special options or weekend services are included, making it a straightforward fixed-price biogas offer.

What do our experts think about Ekwateur Gaz Naturel 15% Biogaz Fixe?

Despite competitive kWh pricing and the environmental benefit of 15% French biogas, the high subscription fee lessens this offer’s overall attractiveness. Fixed prices provide some protection, but with the gas market currently declining, a variable option might suit cost-conscious users better. This plan suits larger gas consumers, like gas-heated homes, who value price stability over lower bills. Overall, the offer ranks D in quality-price balance. Selectra recommends considering your consumption needs carefully before choosing this fixed biogas plan.

Gaz Naturel 100% Biogaz Fixe by Ekwateur

The Gaz Naturel 100% Biogaz Fixe plan offers a fixed gas price for one year with a uniform kWh rate of 0.1318€ across all French regions. This premium offer delivers 100% green gas certified by European Guarantees of Origin, exclusively sourced from French biomethane producers. The contract is open-ended, but the fixed pricing commitment lasts one year. This plan stands out by combining stable pricing with a fully renewable gas supply, making it ideal for environmentally conscious households seeking price security on green gas.

What do our experts think about Ekwateur Gaz Naturel 100% Biogaz Fixe ?

Experts at Selectra consider this offer a premium choice, fully green with fixed prices for one year. However, it is significantly more expensive than standard market prices and lacks price visibility after the first year. For those seeking better value, experts recommend Ekwateur’s variable 100% Biogaz plan or alternative offers with 15% biogas. Overall, the plan scores a D for price-quality balance, reflecting its niche appeal but limited affordability.
