Our energy sources
At Opus Energy, we endeavour to secure as much of our power as possible from renewable electricity sources, so our customers can enjoy a cleaner energy supply. And we will continue to do so as part of our commitment to help reduce climate change and maintain a cleaner energy supply.
Between April 2016 and March 2018, 95% of the electricity supplied by Opus Energy to our customers came from renewable generators.
Such generators are provided with a government certificate as evidence that they have produced power which is 100% renewable. This certificate is called a Guarantee of Origin. It is then passed on to Opus Energy as proof that the power we have procured and supplied to our customers is from a sustainable source.
