    If you cannot find the information on the nPower website, you should be able to find it on any comparison website :)

    From the npower website!!

    Tier 1 18.659p per kwh inc VAT
    Tier 2 14.742p per kwh inc VAT

    I presume you did not mean E7 tariff, but if you did that is also available on the website..

    Some suppliers produce a .pdf table of a tariffs. I agree that either NPower doesn't or it is "impossible" to find.

    However in isolation a unit price is not an accurate measure of total cost. If you particularly want to find, for whatever reason, the unit price then as suggested use a Consumer Focus accredited comparison website. The website will also (foc) give you a total cost and a "whole of market" comparison for your particular consumption and your particular region. Much more useful.

    I agree, but it takes quite a while to get the info, and make sure it's correct. And by which time I'll have had 20 emails trying to flog me cheap deals

    It takes as long as it takes to enter postcode, tariff and a kWh figure. About 30 seconds-certainly less time that fishing around on the nPower site, or posting on here
