Existing energy customers with E.ON, SSE, EDF and British Gas have found themselves locked out of attractively priced tariffs because those deals are only available to new joiners. In 2014, following a series of energy mis-selling scandals, Ofgem created a rule which effectively banned suppliers from excluding existing customers. However in April this year the regulator announced that it no longer planned to enforce that rule, meaning a new generation of tariffs which ignore existing customers have surfaced.

A group comprising some of the UK's main regulators has released its report into price comparison websites. The UK Regulators Network which includes Ofcom, The Financial Conduct Authority and Ofgem found many consumers don't understand exactly how the sites make money from them.

Adam Shaw hears from Dermot Nolan CEO of Ofgem who is also Chair of the UK Regulators Network.
