Welcome to Go Green
Buy it, make it, save it with npower
The world is waking up to the very real challenges we all face as a result of global warming and the associated change in climate that’s occurring.
Energy is npower’s business and we recognise our great responsibility to work with both the Government and customers to help reduce some of the causes of climate change. That’s why we’re committed to encouraging customers to use less! We’re one of the UK’s largest generators of green energy and are also supporting the development of new carbon-free and renewable energy sources for the future.
As Britain’s brightest energy company, we’re dedicated to pursuing new ways of producing green energy and promoting its use among our customers – we’ve called it New Energy.
New energy encompasses three key areas:
Buying Green energy
npower juice is 100% renewable electricity, at no extra cost to you. We make sure that at the end of the year, through regular usage estimates, that we have provided enough clean, renewable energy to cover what you’ve used.
npower also invests on your behalf through the Juice fund, to support community based renewable generation projects, in turn, helping to support our environmental commitment. Tens of thousands of households have already made the switch from standard electricity to npower juice, and the great news is that it costs no more than npower's standard electricity with no premiums.
So take a step in the right direction, and Find out more about npower Juice or compare electricity and gas prices.
Making your own energy
npower solar can provide all the expertise to help you become more self sufficient by installing solar PV panels to make electricity and hot water for your home. If you generate any excess electricity, we can even arrange to buy it back from you when you join the npower microgeneration export scheme#. Click here for more information.
Saving Energy
We’re also working hard to help you save energy – after all, the greenest unit of energy is the unit you don’t use. Click here for easy ways to save on energy – and also save on bills.
What is global warming?
Global warming is occurring because the planet is heating up as the result of too much carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. A major source of carbon comes from burning fossil fuels for energy – for example, to heat our homes or run our cars. The carbon rises up to the earth’s upper atmosphere where it acts like an insulating coat, reflecting heat from the sun back to the earth’s surface.
This is beginning to have an effect on our climate with potentially damaging consequences. For example, ice caps are starting to melt at the Poles, which could cause sea levels to rise, and higher temperatures and less rainfall are being recorded in areas which already suffer from drought.
* Your electricity supply shall remain the same, npower will estimate your npower juice energy consumption throughout the year until year end, when we will check your annual consumption data and ensure the correct amount of renewable energy has been purchased to cover your annual consumption. This ensures an equivalent amount of electricity is generated from clean, renewable sources.
