OPUS Energy's Exit from the Gas Market: What This Means for You

Banner stating Opus Energy are exiting the gas market

In an unexpected turn of events, OPUS Energy has announced its decision to exit the gas market, starting from 01/02/2023. This announcement comes as a surprise to both existing and potential customers who were considering OPUS Energy as their gas supplier. As an experienced energy broker, we understand the challenges business owners face when finding the right energy supplier. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the implications of this exit and offer our services to help you secure competitive gas quotes from over 20 trusted suppliers.

What Does This Mean for Existing OPUS Energy Customers?


If You Have a Locked-In Contract

If you're currently an OPUS Energy customer with a locked-in contract, there's no need to worry. OPUS Energy has confirmed that it will honour all live contracts until their respective end dates. This means your gas supply will continue uninterrupted, and you won't face any premature contract termination.


However, it's important to remember that once your current contract expires, you will no longer have the option to renew with OPUS Energy for gas supply. Therefore, it's a good idea to start exploring alternative gas suppliers ahead of time.




If You're On a Rolling Contract

For customers on a rolling contract with OPUS Energy, the situation is slightly different. As OPUS Energy withdraws from the gas market, these contracts will come to an end once the supplier ceases to provide services. You will need to secure a new gas provider to ensure continued supply.

What About New Customers?



Unfortunately, OPUS Energy will no longer be signing new gas contracts. If you recently received a quote or were planning to switch to OPUS Energy upon contract renewal, you'll need to explore other gas suppliers in the market. This change could impact your decision-making process, so now is the time to act and secure an alternative provider.
