The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) has today announced the first accreditation of a price comparison website in the Irish energy market.

Bonkers Money Ltd is the first energy price comparison website provider to be accredited by the CER through its new accreditation framework launched last August. The website, www.bonkers.ie is an online comparison and switching service which helps customers to compare a range of services including gas & electricity prices. Under the accreditation framework, a website providing an energy price comparison service is only accredited by the CER if it meets defined standards for accuracy, transparency, and reliability. An accredited site will also be audited at least annually by the CER to ensure that it continues to provide a high standard of service.

CER Chairperson Dermot Nolan commented: "Price comparison websites that are easy to use and trusted are a valuable tool in helping customers to get the best tariff deal, thereby delivering cost savings and assisting energy competition. The CER is pleased to confirm that www.bonkers.ie has met all the requirements to gain accreditation for its price comparison website in the gas and electricity markets."
