Bartle Bogle Hegarty, Karmarama, and Mother all took part in the process, which was handled by ISBA.
Npower, owned by German holding company RWE, had considered holding an e-auction after BBH and Karmarama dropped out of the process, but later rejected the idea.
Edward Madden, the head of marketing at Npower, said: "We’re excited to have FCB Inferno on board and are looking forward to working with them to develop a new creative strategy that meets the challenges faced by our business.
"They demonstrated great strategic focus and creative ability throughout the pitch process and I am confident that we will benefit from their expertise, ideas and fresh perspective."
