⚡ Npower’s Electricity Licence Will Be Revoked on 1 August 2025 — Here’s What It Actually Means

Npower is voluntarily exiting the electricity market on 1 August 2025 — here’s what it means for your contract, supply, and next steps.

📢 What’s Happened?

Ofgem has issued a formal notice confirming that Npower Limited (Company No. 03653277) will have its electricity supply licence revoked with effect from 1 August 2025 at 00:01am.



This follows a voluntary request made by Npower in March 2025 — and marks the final step in their long-standing withdrawal from the UK energy supply market.

✅ Are Any Customers Affected?

No.

 While the headline might sound alarming, Npower Limited no longer supplies any customers and hasn’t for some time.

They exited the Balancing and Settlement Code (BSC) earlier this year — a required move before a licensed supplier can leave the market. That means:

• ⚠️ There are no customers on supply
• ❌ No legacy contracts remain
• 🔁 No Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) process is required



This revocation is purely administrative — it doesn’t impact any live supply arrangements.

🔍 So Why Did You Still Flag It?

At Smart Energy Company, we keep an eye on supplier exits, licence changes, and brand activity — because it’s not always obvious who you’re really dealing with.

Many businesses still see “npower” branding on quotes or documentation. That’s because:

“npower” is still an active trading name — but under a different company:
📌 Npower Commercial Gas Limited (Company No. 03768856),
trading as npower Business Solutions, part of the E.ON group.

So, if you’ve recently received a business energy quote from npower, it didn’t come from Npower Limited (the entity losing its licence).


It came from a separate, licensed and operational company still supplying UK businesses.

🧭 What Should You Do?

If you're unsure who issued your quote, or whether you're dealing with a live, licensed supplier, we’re happy to take a look.

✅ We'll:

• Check your supplier and trading entity
• Explain any risks, limitations, or hidden pass-throughs
• Compare it against 28+ suppliers to see how it stacks up



We do this without pressure or obligation — just honest, informed advice to help you make the right call for your business.
