Our fuel mix

As part of Drax, One of the UK’s largest suppliers of renewable energy to business, we back each megawatt hour (MWh) of the renewable source electricity we supply with a certificate from Ofgem. The energy regulator issues Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificates for generation taking place in the UK.

The energy regulator – Ofgem – issues Renewable Energy certificates for generation that occur in the UK. A proportion of the electricity we supply comes from Drax Power Station, near Selby in North Yorkshire. Predominantly, the plant uses sustainable biomass sourced from established, responsibly-managed working forests. We also have power purchase agreements with around 2,300 independent, UK-based generators.

When you’re on supply with Opus Energy, your contract is with either Opus Energy (Corporate) Limited – if you’re a corporate customer – or Opus Energy Limited if you’re a SME customer. Please refer to your bill to check which category you’re in, then see the relevant fuel mix disclosure (as above).

If you’re contracted to receive 100% renewable electricity via either our Opus Advance or Opus Advance Plus supply plan, please see this downloadable PDF.
