Cancellation Policy
If you want to cancel during a fixed-period contract, you can give notice before or on your notice date. Doing so will mean your contract will end on the last day of the fixed period and will not renew.
On the other hand, if you’re cancelling during a monthly plan period, you’ll need to give Opus Energy notice in writing at least 30 days before you want the contract to end. This effectively means you’ll pay for one more month of energy before your contract comes to a close.
-
Green Performance
Opus Energy has a proven track record for sustainable energy. It endeavours to secure as much of its power as possible from renewable sources to provide customers with a clean energy supply.
Opus secures its energy supply by collaborating with energy generators who can show a government certificate — known as a ‘Guarantee of Origin’ — as evidence that they can provide 100% renewable energy.
