Green energy
Feel good about the energy you use and get rewarded!
Since the launch of Juice, our green energy tariff, in 2001 we’ve raised more than £2 million for the Juice fund which has helped to support renewable energy projects all over the country.
To celebrate we’re offering all new npower customers who switch to npower Juice for their electricity and our standard tariff for gas, with a one off £100 Green Energy Bonus which will be paid in 2011.
- Switch your electricity to Juice which is the same price as our standard electricity tariff.
- Bring your gas across to our standard gas tariff and get a £100 Green Energy Bonus: our discount for taking both fuels and switching to npower Juice.
- All dual fuel customers who pay by Direct Debit are also eligible for our £100 Direct Debit discount.
What's npower Juice?
npower Juice is npower's certified green energy tariff with electricity that comes from 100% renewable sources, it costs the same as our standard electricity, and there's no extra cost to you as there is no premium to pay.
npower Juice is now a tarrif with genuine environmental benefits, in line with OFGEM's (the Government's energy regulator) Green Supply Guidelines. The award comes from the new and independent Green Energy Supply (GES) certification scheme, which was launched earlier this year.
