Thinking of going electric? Let’s get started together

Whether you’re considering solar panels, an electric vehicle, or upgrading your home heating, making the switch to electric is a step toward lower power bills and a greener future. We can guide you through the connection journey by helping you choose grid-compliant equipment, ask your installer the right questions, and connect safely to our network.

How your home & the grid work together

Generating your own electricity works best when your home and the local network act as a team. By shifting simple daily habits – like running heat pumps, timers, or EV chargers during daylight hours – you can maximise self-consumption and make the most of your investment. Meanwhile, Northpower’s grid remains your reliable backup, supplying power when needed and letting you safely export excess electricity back to the grid.
