PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Energy: Billing (1 March 2016)

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the Answer of 10 September 2015 to Question 8556, what progress Energy UK has made in developing the webtool www.comparemyenergy.org.uk.

Asked by:
Matthew Pennycook (Labour)

We welcome the development by many energy suppliers of consumption comparison tools on their websites. These use the data consumers provide to make comparisons meaningful and reflective of household circumstances.

In addition, we expect the Competition and Markets Authority shortly to publish the conclusion of their work on the energy market, including how to make the energy market work effectively for consumers.

Energy UK have subsequently advised the webtool, comparemyenergy.org.uk, ceased to function from March 2015, due to very low consumer response.
