    But you do wonder who pays - as the website says free to the user.
    Ofgem made Spark Energy pay out £250,000 for breaches of their supply licence.  A significant part of their business model was to pay commission to estate agents and landlords to sign up tenants to contracts that weren't the cheapest.
    Guess who took over Spark Energy?  Yup, it was Ovo.

    Thanks,

    Looks like that al least until that case - they were in fact blocking switching - judging by the wording - the first part of 1.2 details

    "SLCs 14.4, 14.7 and 14.8 – Domestic Customer transfer blocking...."

    Hopefully they no longer do that.
