<p>It is important that consumers are confident they can find the best deals on price
comparison websites.</p><p>Currently all energy switching sites accredited to the
Ofgem Confidence Code need to provide a comparison of all tariffs available across
the market, as a default, regardless of whether the switching site has a commercial
arrangement in place with the supplier.</p><p>Following a recommendation by the Competition
and Markets Authority, Ofgem launched a consultation on changes to the Confidence
Code so that price comparison sites could show, as a default, only those tariffs for
which it receives commission, provided it also includes clear and easy access to a
whole of market comparison.</p><p>Ofgem is due to publish its decision on the consultation
shortly.</p>
