The energy giant announced it was the latest company to increase its prices, lifting gas and electricity costs by an overall 9.8 per cent - adding around £109 annually on to a typical dual fuel bill.
The announcement could be the trigger for its rivals - dubbed the 'Big Six' - to also hike prices for hard-pressed households.

Theresa May's official spokesman said: 'Obviously, we are concerned by Npower's planned increases. The Government is committed to getting the best deal for households.
'Suppliers are protected from the recent fluctuations in the wholesale energy prices in which they are buying up to two years in advance.
'So we expect energy companies to treat their customers fairly, and are being clear that where markets aren't working we are prepared to act.'
Last night, Greg Clark, the Business Secretary, attacked the price rise, saying: ‘Loyal customers are being taken for granted by the big energy firms.'

Shadow business secretary Clive Lewis called for an immediate intervention.
He said: 'This government is doing nothing to enforce their own regulator's strong advice that there should be no price hike.
'They have done nothing to increase the number of families getting help to insulate their home.
'And they are not doing enough to ensure better customer treatment. Theresa May should take urgent action to stand up for bill payers.'
Following the announcement, Npower Electricity prices will go up by 15 per cent while gas will rise by 4.8 per cent.
The increase will come into effect on 16 March and anyone with a standard variable tariff from the provider will see their energy bills rise.
Around 1.4million Npower customers will see higher prices on their energy bills from 16 March.

The rest of its customers, who are on fixed-rate tariffs, will not see the price change.
Npower last hiked prices three years ago. It says since then there have been increases in wholesale energy costs plus a rise to the amount energy firms pay to Government energy policies, such as smart metering, renewables obligation and the capacity market.
It has blamed these rises on the hikes to energy bills and said in a statement: 'This trend is set to continue, with network and policy costs representing an increasing share of domestic electricity bills.'
The price rise of 9.8 per cent for those with a variable tariff is significantly higher than the current rate of inflation, which rose to a two-and-a half year high of 1.6 per cent in December.

Simon Stacey, managing director of domestic markets, said: 'This is a hugely difficult decision, and we've delayed the date this takes effect until after the coldest months of the year.
'We've also made sure that our most vulnerable customers won't see any impact until May.
'Npower has some of the most engaged customers of any major supplier - one million of our customers switched to another of our tariffs last year and around half of our customers aren't on a standard variable tariff.
'To encourage even more engagement, today we're launching a fixed tariff just for our existing customers who are still on an SVT, that will fix energy prices for the next four years with no exit fees.

'Npower operates one of the broadest range of support schemes of any supplier, offering the widest and most diverse care programmes for vulnerable customers and those who are struggling with their energy bills.
'We're already delaying the impact of the increase for vulnerable customers, but anyone who is struggling with their energy bills should contact us straight away to discuss whether they're on the right tariff for their needs, energy saving help and bespoke payment plans.'
Npower: The firm is the second of the Big Six to announce a bill hike this year
But Ofgem has said Npower will need to justify the price hike.
A spokesperson said: 'Our new supplier cost index shows that costs for energy suppliers have risen over the past year after having fallen for the previous two to three years.

'However, we don't see any case for significant price increases where suppliers have bought energy well in advance. Npower must therefore justify the decision to its customers.'
Former Npower boss Paul Massara also described the price increase as ‘shocking' on social media website Twitter.
While it is the case that wholesale energy costs have been rising steadily over the past seven months after an almost two-year period of remaining flat, in 2014, when prices remained low for a prolonged period, energy firms were not as quick to pass on these savings to customers.
Ofgem chief executive Dermot Nolan said last week there was 'no obvious reason' for price hikes from the Big Six, given that they usually buy energy two years in advance and therefore should be able to hedge against market changes.
Stephen Murray, energy expert for comparison website MoneySuperMarket, said: 'Coming off the back of EDF's price increase that starts on 1 March, further price increases from the Big Six had a certain air of inevitability.
'However, this hefty rise of nearly 10 per cent will add £109 for the average dual fuel customer – a significant dent to customers' wallets.
'Standard customers continue to pay over the odds for their gas and electricity and whether you're an Npower customer or with any other supplier on a standard tariff, the message is and has been clear for a while – switch tariff to a cheaper fixed deal and take control of your energy bills.'
While Mark Todd, energy expert at Energyhelpline, added: 'This is a shocking price rise and a big kick in the teeth to Npower standard tariff customers.
Price hikes are expected by all of the Big Six energy firms in the next few months
'To beat the price rises consumers need to compare prices and switch to a fixed rate tariff. This is one guaranteed not to rise in price. Most customers will be able to save £100-£200 a year now and so those savings will be more like £200-£300 once the price rise comes into effect.
'The Npower price rise is likely to open the floodgates. Expect more rises of 5-10 per cent from other big energy companies through February.'
Wholesale energy costs have been rising steadily over the past seven months after an almost two-year period of remaining flat. The price of supplying energy was 15 per cent higher this month compared to a year ago due to rises in wholesale, network and Government obligation costs, according to Ofgem.
British Gas, SSE and Eon have all frozen prices on their standard variable tariffs until the spring. Prices for British Gas customers on its standard variable tariff are being held until March 2017, while E.on and SSE have both frozen prices until April.
EDF has confirmed a price increase, of 8.4 per cent for electricity prices. It cut the price of gas by 5.2 per cent on 6 January for around 700,000 of its customers and froze the price of electricity until 1 March, when it will hike the cost.
