Microgeneration Scheme
As part of our investment in renewable technologies and initiatives, npower is undertaking a microgeneration trial in which we will engage in buy-back agreements with customers that wish to export any excess electricity that they produce from their microgenerators.
As part of the scheme, npower will pay customers a tariff based on the amount of electricity that they export back onto the electricity distribution network. If you decide to join the npower Microgeneration Scheme – PV, we currently pay 12p for every unit of electricity you export. If you do not have an export meter we will make an estimation based on the amount of renewable electricity you generate, this estimation is based on 50% of your total generation being exported.
If you decide to join the npower Microgeneration Scheme – Wind, we currently pay 10p for every unit of electricity you export. If you do not have an export meter we will make an estimation based on the amount of renewable electricity you generate, this estimation is based on 60% of your total generation being exported.
npower do not install export meters.
