Gas and Electricity Suppliers

The UK now has over seventy licensed suppliers of electricity and gas. This results in several thousand separate electricity tariffs being available to each domestic consumer from the electricity suppliers.

 

Uniquely, Energylinx lists every single gas and electricity supplier who provide either domestic electricity and/or gas throughout the UK and each electricity tariff they offer. The electricity prices quoted are the same regardless of whether you contact each individual gas and electricity supplier direct or choose to compare electricity prices using the Energylinx electricity price comparison.

 

The gas and electricity prices contained within our gas and electricity price comparison are constantly updated, with many suppliers have their own direct links into our electricity price comparison database. This ensures that the gas and electricity prices quoted on the Energylinx site are always up to date.

 

Should Ofgem issue any additional gas or electricity supply licenses you can be assured that these gas and electricity suppliers will be listed in our gas and electricity price comparison database immediately they offer gas electricity supplies to the domestic consumer.

 

Should you not find your existing gas electricity supplier on our database it will be because it is a trading name or trading partner, used or supplied by one of the licensed electricity suppliers.

 

The following table provides a guide to the names used by the gas and electricity suppliers and the trading relationships that exist.
