Npower provides gas, electricity and related services to around 6.6 million business and residential customer accounts. The company operates one of the largest portfolios of power generating plants in the UK, which includes operating and managing flexible, low-cost coal, oil and gas-fired power stations. It’s a huge operation which takes over 13,000 employees at 60 sites across the UK. Combined with its retail strength, npower has the capacity to generate over 9,000MW of electricity from a portfolio of diverse, low-cost generation assets.

The npower renewable energy business, npower renewables, established the UK's first major offshore wind-farm and is in the process of developing other innovative energy-related technologies. The operating portfolio includes both onshore and offshore wind farms, hydroelectric power, and we are currently working on a joint project to develop the first wave power scheme in the Scottish Isles. Utilising these natural resources provides significant sources of power for the UK's present and future electricity needs.
