Leading business energy supplier, Opus Energy, has experienced significant growth in 2012 with revenue growing by 38%, mirroring the company's corporate customer base expansion to over 56,000 sites.

The growth of Opus Energy's corporate sales reflects the steady growth in customers signing up to its flexible electricity commodity purchasing product, Opus Evolution. This has been strengthened by the launch of new product functionality in the summer - 'Fix/Unfix' - which allows customers to sell their already purchased power back to Opus Energy.

Opus Energy's growth over the last year has also been fuelled by the increasing interest amongst companies in generating renewable power from their own businesses. Opus Energy enters into power purchase agreements (PPAs) with renewable energy generators across the UK, purchasing their renewable power to supply to its customers. Opus Energy has entered into PPAs with over 500 renewable generators.
