npower: Juice

npower makes an annual contribution of £10 into the Juice Fund for every Juice customer.  Since 2005 the Juice Fund has been used to support innovation, research and development in the marine and tidal renewables sector.  From 2010 the Juice Fund will be used to invest in community-based small- and micro- renewable generation projects in Great Britain, with any shortfall to meet the requirements of the Green Energy Supply Scheme being achieved through appropriate and approved offsets.  Information will be available at npower.com/Juice detailing current projects being invested in by the Juice Fund.

npower: National Trust Green Energy

For every customer that selects National Trust Green Energy (NTGE) npower will make an initial contribution of £30 to the National Trust Green Fund, with an additional £10 paid per annum thereafter.  This fund is used at National Trust properties in Great Britain to invest in low- and zero-carbon initiatives delivered through micro- and small- scale renewable projects. The projects delivered will reduce the carbon footprint of the property, for instance by replacing oil or LPG boilers with ground source heat pumps or solar PV panels. We will provide frequent information confirming the details of initiatives that have been invested in. These figures are based on a customer taking NTGE and gas from npower.  Should only NTGE be selected contributions of £15 and £5 will be made respectively
