Content Review Policy

Review cycle

• Regulatory & rate content (VAT, CCL, price cap references, standing-charge caps): reviewed at least quarterly and whenever a change is announced by Ofgem, DESNZ or HMRC.
• Supplier profiles: reviewed at least every 6 months, or whenever a supplier materially changes its contract terms, product range or business status.
• Evergreen guides and explainers: reviewed at least every 12 months.
• Blog posts and news: reviewed on publication; older posts are re-checked if they continue to attract meaningful traffic or are linked from a live guide.

What we check

• Figures and rates match the current published sources.
• Regulatory references (Ofgem licence conditions, DESNZ guidance) are current.
• Internal and external links resolve to the intended page.
• Supplier names, brand names and trading status are current.
• Recommendations still reflect our brokerage team's live experience of the market.

Signalling updates to readers

Every long-form guide and blog post carries a "Last reviewed" date. When we make a material factual change on a review, we update that date and — where the change corrects a previously published figure — note the correction at the foot of the page.

Retiring content

If an article is superseded by a newer guide, we replace the old URL with a redirect to the current guide so links from other sites continue to work. If content is no longer relevant (e.g. a scheme that has closed), we retain the article with a clearly dated note explaining the status.

How to flag out-of-date content

If you spot something that looks stale or incorrect, email care@energytariff.co.uk with the URL and what you noticed. We aim to reply within 5 working days.
