Managing energy

Twice named Supplier of the Year in 2010, npower is an industry leader when it comes to advising our business customers to help them make better decisions about how they purchase and use their energy. Whatever your approach to risk, and whatever your carbon reduction aspirations, we have advice, services, tools and products you need.

Helping you manage energy

Our world is changing and UK businesses have to respond to both their customers and key stakeholders in the new low carbon economy. Our structured Energy Management programme M3 provides you with an end-to-end service by helping you to measure, monitor and minimise your energy usage and carbon emissions.

If you can’t measure it you can’t manage it

Measurement is the first step towards effective energy management. Our combination of metering solutions and Monitoring & Targeting tools can help you to obtain a comprehensive understanding of your energy usage. From this data we can assist you in identifying opportunities to reduce consumption and implement projects that could save you money.

Helping you meet legislative requirements

Our package of energy management products and services are designed to help you self-manage your business energy and carbon needs. From Encompass, our flagship online monitoring and targeting tool that tracks your consumption and emissions, to our bespoke CRC Assist consultancy service.

Making the right investment decisions

Renewable energy is a rapidly expanding sector and specialist knowledge is invaluable when it comes to helping ensure your investment pays off. We can help you create a bespoke package of sustainable energy solutions including Solar, Wind, Biomas, Ground &Air Source Heat.

Helping you buy energy

If you want to protect yourself from fluctuations in market prices, we can tailor your fixed contract to meet your priorities. If, on the other hand, you want to spread your price risk over a number of purchases throughout the year, we can give market information, tools and advice to help you to make effective decisions time and again.

Managing risk

The first to launch power flexible purchasing in 2002, npower’s risk management services have developed in both scope and ease-of-use so that we can offer you a range of solutions designed to help you manage your risk.
