Statement on E.ON's Age UK tariff

Ofgem has looked into E.ON’s marketing of its tariffs with Age UK and concluded that there is no case to open an investigation.

We have written to all suppliers reminding them that relationships with charities and other trusted organisations require appropriate oversight.

The Charity Commission has looked into the practices of Age UK in relation to this matter and they have today published a report of their findings.
