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.
