npower urges firms to have their say on energy

Businesses need to make sure they make their voices heard when it comes to shaping current and future energy legislation, according to energy firm npower, which has launched its own consultation for businesses in response to the government's Red Tape Challenge.

npower's 'Red Tape Challenge - Have Your Say' campaign is designed to give businesses the opportunity to feedback on current and future energy regulation affecting the sector.

Businesses can have their say on the policies they think should be scrapped, merged with existing regulation, simplified or left as they are at: www.npower.com/redtape.

Once feedback has been gathered, the energy company will submit its findings on behalf of business to the government's Red Tape Challenge ahead of the utilities and energy sector's consultation deadline on 27 October 2011.

The campaign was launched both in response to the government's Red Tape Challenge and after npower's own research revealed strong business opinion on current and proposed energy legislation.
