comparethemarket.com Saves its Customers Over GBP4m on Their Energy Bills as Fuel Prices Continue to Soar

PETERBOROUGH, England, January 24, 2011 - As energy prices across the globe have soared, savvy customers have been
clicking on to UK's leading price comparison website, comparethemarket.com
(www.comparethemarket.com/), to search for a better deal on their
household utility bills and in the process have saved GBP4,695,660 in just
one year.*

With rising energy prices and the coldest winter for 100 years, 2010 was
a strained year for many families. Whilst the Energy Intensive Users Group
and The Energy Savings Trust were continuing to report a climb in gas and
electricity prices, many homeowners were looking for ways to reduce these
outgoings before new price tariffs came into force and the effects of VAT
going up to 20% take hold.

Jeremy Moll, Commercial Director for comparethemarket.com said: "Our
customers really know what to look for when it comes to finding themselves a
good deal. Energy bodies and even the energy companies themselves were
reporting a rise in gas and electricity prices for a number of months which
led to people taking immediate action and using comparethemarket.com as the
best service for finding themselves a better deal on their energy bills."

Working with some of the UK's biggest providers, comparethemarket.com
constantly compare electricity prices (
www.comparethemarket.com/energy/) and the best deals and rates on the
market to ensure that the customer gets the greatest saving for them.
