About Be An Energy Shopper
The Be An Energy Shopper campaign was launched by Ofgem in response to consumer demand for impartial advice on how to compare tariffs in the gas and electricity markets. An easy guide has been set up at the website to show how recent changes to the energy market can help consumers to compare tariffs and get a better deal on their gas and electricity bills.
The website includes:
- new tools to help people compare the different tariffs
- a glossary explaining the language used on bills
- links to other useful sites, including comparison services accredited to Ofgem’s Confidence Code
- a step-by-step guide that visitors can download and keep, or to give to friends and relatives without internet access.
