Why are none of the comparison sites on energy showing full market anymore?

    Because tariffs are changing at the speed of light as suppliers respond to high gas prices.

    Look at the wholesale prices in this link - right hand column:

    Try energy linx, there is usually stuff listed on there which seems impossible to find on other sites.

    Remember to change the default view to include supplies they can't switch you to.

    Or use 'Which? Switch' which uses Energylinx but doesn't hide those that don't pay commission.  However, many if not most PCWs just can't keep up with all the changes, so don't rely on your chosen tariff still being available.

    I suspect there isn't an energy supplier out there that currently wants to take on any new customers, at least not price conscious customers.
    Every customer is loss making unless they sign up to a very high priced fixed tariff.
    The standard variable rate is the lower cost option for now and they will all be loss making due to the price cap.
    So marketing to price conscious customers is pointless at the moment
