A further two price comparison websites (PCWs) have completely suspended their energy services, while other sites continue to have severely limited offers.
Peter McGirr, founder and chief executive of the supplier to 250,000 homes, told the BBC he had appointed Alvarez and Marsal on an “advisory and restructuring” basis, but admitted Green could fall into administration within weeks.
He said the firm was in “deep, deep trouble and our heads are unlikely to bob back to the surface”.
Utility Week has contacted both Green and Alvarez and Marsal for comment.
Compare the Market stopped its price comparisons for energy on Friday (17 September), while several searches by Utility Week on Uswitch, MoneySuperMarket, GoCompare and Confused.com found only four suppliers still offering tariffs.
However as of this afternoon (21 September), both Uswitch and GoCompare are no longer running any energy comparison services.
A statement on GoCompare said: “We’re temporarily pausing our energy comparison as spiralling wholesale costs have forced many suppliers to remove their tariffs. This means we may not be able to provide an energy comparison service that’s right for you.
“We believe in always doing the right thing for our customers, so we’ll start comparing again as soon as we’re confident we can give you the service you expect.”
A similar message appears on the Uswitch page.
Both however do allow consumers to see tariffs being offered by suppliers, but to access these products they will have to contact the retailers separately.
Elsewhere, searches on Confused.com and MoneySuperMarket provide results from just two suppliers, So Energy and Outfox the Market.
Comparisons on Compare the Market meanwhile remain suspended.
Additionally, there is a message showing up on the SSE website which says its tariffs are “temporarily unavailable” and that it is working to restore the service as soon as possible.
SSE’s retail arm was taken on by Ovo Energy in 2020 and Utility Week has contacted Ovo for further comment.
