Regular Payment Plans

We can help arrange a plan where you make regular payments to cover the cost of the energy you’ll use in future and any debt you may have on your account. If you’re interested in setting up a plan, just chat to us and we can help you get started.

Prepayment

With a prepayment meter you pay for your energy as you use it. You pay for your energy by charging a key or a card that you insert into the meter. We can set your meter to cover any debt, taking into account how much you can afford, over several weeks or months. Find out more about Prepayment.

Choose how you pay

There are lots of ways to pay for you energy, and we can offer different plans to suit your budget.

Monthly Direct Debit

Our most popular payment method

Pay the same amount each month straight from your bank account
Choose a monthly payment date to suit you
We check you're paying the right amount for what you use
Statement every 3-6 months
Direct Debit discount applied. Single fuel electricity £40, Single fuel gas £50, Dual Fuel £90

Show / hide More information

How will these discounts be applied?

If you pay by Direct Debit you'll pay the same unit rate for energy used as Receipt of Bill customers, but will benefit from a reduced standing charge. Your daily standing charge will be discounted so that over a year you'll get a discount of £40 on your electricity charges and £50 on your gas for paying by Direct Debit.

If you choose not, or are no longer able, to pay in that way, you’ll no longer be eligible for the discounted standing charge and may be moved onto the non-discounted version of your current tariff and pay by Receipt of Bill.

If no such payment option is available on your current tariff, you’ll be moved onto the non-discounted version of our Standard tariff. If this happens, we'll give you at least 30 days’ notice that your standing charge will increase.

Subject to change.

Your monthly payment amount

Any product or payment discounts you’re entitled to will be built into your monthly payment amount. Please remember, if you decide to leave us or stop meeting the conditions of the discount, e.g. you stop paying by Direct Debit, you’ll move on to the non-discounted version of our Standard tariff, you won’t receive your discount and you may find your monthly payments haven’t covered the energy you’ve used.

Terms and Conditions

Under the Direct Debit Guarantee, if the amount you pay or the payment date changes, we will let you know 10 working days before we debit your account, or on another agreed date. If npower, your bank or building society makes a mistake with your payment, you're also guaranteed a full and immediate refund from your branch of the amount paid. This information has been sourced from BACS.

Automatic refund: Given on credit balances at time of annual review based on actual reading (which may be a customer's own reading supplied to us) and where the credit is over £60. If you take both fuels from npower, we'll use any credit on one fuel account to clear a debt on the other fuel before any refund will be made. Credits of less than £60 will be refunded on request but this could affect future monthly direct debit amounts. If your credit is less than the automatic refund amount, it will be used to offset ongoing payments.
