Price comparison tool could help reduce bills for consumers on standard variable tariffs by £200 a year, says regulator
Ofgem has published its first energy company league table, comparing the most expensive standard tariffs with the cheapest deals on the market to provide “greater transparency to consumers”.
The energy secretary, Greg Clark, said the table would show consumers where they could save money and would increase transparency for the “millions” of Britons who were overpaying for their gas and electricity by remaining on the expensive standard variable tariffs.
