18 Feb 2026 Check24 GmbHBundeskartellamt: Check24 drops best-price clauses towards energy suppliers GermanyAbuse of market power Order

The Bundeskartellamt (Federal Cartel Office) declared binding commitments by Check24 GmbH under which the comparison website gives up price parity clauses when brokering electricity and gas contracts: energy suppliers may offer their tariffs more cheaply via other websites and their own sales channels without the contractual relationship, commission or ranking depending on it (no 'dimming'). In its preliminary assessment the authority had concerns under Articles 101 and 102 TFEU and Sections 1, 19 and 20 of the German Competition Act (GWB).

What organisations can take from it

Leading brokerage platforms should avoid best-price clauses; indirect levers such as a worse ranking also count as parity requirements.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after the decision in a case, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
