Opus Energy

Ceased trading

What happened: 2025-05-01 (final supply contracts transferred to PE; the majority of SME customers had moved to EDF in September 2024)
Customers moved to: Most small-business customers went to EDF in September 2024. The remaining Opus contracts went to PE (Pozitive Energy) on 1 May 2025, with Ofgem approval. Power purchase agreements with renewable generators, and certain other customers, had already moved to Drax Energy Solutions.

Opus Energy was a Northampton-based business-only gas and electricity supplier, founded in 2002 and bought by Drax in 2017. It sold most of its small-business customers to EDF in September 2024 and passed the rest to PE (Pozitive Energy) in May 2025. It is now closed as a supplier, although the legal company remains active within the Drax group. In November 2024 Ofgem announced that Opus would pay more than £7 million in refunds, goodwill and redress after self-reporting that 87,825 non-domestic customers had been overcharged between 2003 and 2023.

Variable customers moved to EDF 'Freedom for business', out-of-contract customers to 'Extended supply' and deemed customers to EDF deemed rates. Fixed contracts cannot be ended early. REGO backing on fixed renewable tariffs carried over. Queries go to hellobusiness@edfenergy.com. PE customers: fixed contracts continue on the same terms. An early termination fee may apply to leaving early under the original Opus terms. Deemed, variable and out-of-contract customers moved onto PE rates.
