The Government revealed the move in a letter to Sandwell Council Leader Councillor Darren Cooper.
He wrote to the Prime Minister after npower announced plans to close its Quayside House offices in Oldbury and outsource jobs to India from there and another office in the borough.
The energy giant said the move, which will affect some 400 staff, would 'save on customer service costs at a time of external pressures on energy prices'.
Councillor Cooper had asked the Prime Minister to urge npower to reconsider the move.
