Utility Warehouse sold its two subsidiaries; Electricity Plus and Gas Plus to npower. In 2013, npower sold these two subsidiaries back to Utility Warehouse for around £218million. This meant that Utility Warehouse became one of the largest independent energy suppliers in the country at the time with more than 500,000 customers.
