Has anyone else found errors in the comparisons. It tells me I'm paying £880/yr for duel fuel and this is expected to be £1100/yr when my tariff ends. Where do I get these figures from as I'm going to pay £1000/yr. So the comparison CEC chose for me which  showed a saving had no saving at all.

The rules are from the regulator and are wrong .

Comparison shows the cost if you do nothing and move on to standard  tariff .

The figures you should look at are the annual cost of the new tariff/supplier and compare that with what you have actually paid (assuming no estimated readings )

When you say you're going to pay £1000, is that based on the actual units and standing charges or is it just the total of your payments?
Either you've come up with an incorrect total or you've put in the wrong consumption figures or the wrong tariff information.

Does your £1000 inc VAT ?

It seems that CEC have worked on the worst case scenario, that I will move on to the most expensive tariff when my current tariff ends. This tends to inflate the savings figure so should come with a warning , if it doesn't already. My £1000 cost is the new tariff offered by my current supplier and includes VAT.

This is Ofgem's daft ruling.  Unlike most comparison sites, the CEC defaults to a sensible system and only displays the silly Ofgem figures if you specifically ask it to do so.

I've noticed that. I am in Norfolk so also a long way outside London. It isn't just on CEC, London Power is also shown on Citizens Advice and Energylinx, haven't checked any others.

CEC lists London Power as my cheapest provider at £1057 per year.  However when I go to the London Power website and enter exactly the same consumption figures I get a quote of£1164!  Any idea why the difference?

Cashback and VAT perhaps?
