Timely and efficient bill payments are essential for maintaining reliable energy services, protecting property operations, and ensuring tenant satisfaction.
National Power and Gas (sometimes called National Gas and Power) offers online billing options aimed at making payments straightforward for residential customers, landlords, and small businesses.
