Npower said its monthly direct debit gas customers will receive £50 a year discounts, up from £20.

Additionally npower has introduced a new discount of £10 per year for 'Dual Fuel' customers who pay on receipt of bill.
Kevin Miles, CEO of npower retail said: "We always aim to offer competitive prices to our customers and we have lowered our gas prices although our profits halved in 2009.
"The combined profit from supplying nearly 6.8 million accounts and operating nine power stations was equivalent to just 9p a day for each customer account."
Npower has 6.5 million residential gas and electricity accounts throughout the UK. The firm uses green energy primarily from off-shore wind farms.
