Energy Comparison Site of Choice?

Purports to show ALL available tariffs in a very simple format: no sign whatsoever of the flawed OFGEM Inflated Savings Methodology (is this something else that OFGEM has decided to kick into the long grass like the 4 Tariff Rule)

    Energy Comparison Site of Choice?

    Looks like Energylynx site to me, but hastily modified so that you can't apply through the comparison site.
    In fact, so hastily modified, if you click on "Next steps" against your tariff of choice, they've forgotten to remove Energylynx from the tab title :D
    Also, they've removed the early exit fee details - now just says if there is one, not how much :(

    And why do they need your actual address? They don't, especially if you can't apply online through them.

    If you must use energylynx, use quidco compare (which is energylynx too) and get £20 per fuel cashback! :money:
    (do not confuse with energylynx via quidco where the cashback is less)

    The new site follows the recent CMA report. No links to any commercial comparison sites (but then again..?)

    !!!!!! ! Another little gem from the CMA report
    One little-reported recommendation was that price comparison websites would not be required to show the "whole of market" comparisons, meaning only tariffs from energy firms which pay to appear on switching sites would be displayed to consumers.
    How the hell can that be in the interests of consumers and competition.
