"We realise that in today's market you need to innovate around the customer and their needs," said Phil Scholes, SME sales & marketing director at npower. "Due to this we have made our energy contracts as flexible as possible for SMEs, helping them to choose a simple contract that suits them and their specific needs at a given time. From today, businesses can choose from two different plans based on what is important to their business, whether that is the ability to budget long-term or the flexibility to change contracts at short notice. We will be introducing a third plan later this year, to complete our new suite of products and to coincide with our commitment not to auto-renew existing customers on fixed term contracts from November 2014."
