An investigation into marketing, sales and switching practices by E (Gas and Electricity) Limited (“E”) has recently been launched by Ofgem.

The investigation will examine whether E breached licence conditions which require suppliers to provide information which is complete and accurate and is easily understood by customers when undertaking marketing and sales activities. 

This follows concerns about the supplier’s approach to recruiting new customers.
