According to

60,000 people have switched energy providers which means a £1.8 million windfall for MSE based on the £30 per customer switch incentive they are getting.

This was discussed today on 'You and Yours' Radio 4 lunchtime. It's cheaper for the energy companies to switch a customer using a comparison site.
Selling direct costs them £100. So going thru MSE gets YOU £30 (with Energyhelpline it's £34) and MSE probably get £50 though that is a guess.
Edit..and from that guessed £50. there are staff and computer costs, corporation tax, etc. MSE probably get less than you.0
