This table shows the fuel sources for the electricity supplied under the Npower Commercial Gas Limited licence in the latest reporting period and the UK national average for the same period. Please note that we have used the published fuel mix for Npower Limited as an indicator, as Npower Commercial Gas Limited did not commence supply of electricity until after the end of the reportable period. Most customers of Npower Commercial Gas Limited would have been previously supplied through Npower Limited, although some may have been via Npower Northern Limited or E.ON.
