• Online account management

• Up to £100 annual direct debit discount
• Annual charges at a discount of at least 6% to npower’s new higher standard charges (effective 1st October 2011) for the average dual fuel customer

Is it right for me?

This summer saw the second round of price increases from the “big six” energy companies - who supply 99% of UK households - when Scottish Power, British Gas, Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE), E.ON, npower and EDF Energy all hiked prices by an average of 17.8% for gas and 11.1% for electricity. These price rises will come into effect from October.

The npower Go Fix 8 deal allows you to fix your rates at least 6% lower than npower’s new higher charges with the deal closing on 3 January 2012.

The tariff is only available if you're prepared to pay by monthly direct debit and manage your account online with paperless billing.

The discount is applied annually - continuous payment by monthly direct debit for 12 months entitles you to a discount of £100 if you buy both electricity and gas, £50 if you buy just gas or £40 if you buy just electricity.

Your discount will be credited to your account on the last day of the 12th month after you sign-up to the tariff.
