Opus Energy Renewables Limited was registered to trade electricity, with its office based at Drax Power Station, indicating it operated as part of the Drax group. Its associated brand, Opus Energy, previously supplied business electricity to SMEs and larger organisations across the UK, offering renewable energy tariffs. The company's own site now states that it is permanently closed and no longer supplying energy or responding to customer enquiries, with phone lines shut down. No current trading activity is evidenced, and the entity appears to remain registered but inactive as a supplier, having ceased its former energy retail operations entirely.
