  • Non-commodity costs, 53%Network charges (DUoS, TNUoS), policy levies (RO, FiT, CfD, Capacity Market), CCL and balancing costs.
  • Supplier margin, 6%What the supplier earns. Always priced into the unit rate.

Trading name and licence-holder notes

Switching from Opus Energy / Opus Gas Supply Ltd. (licence holder; current website states Opus Energy is closed) to a fixed business contract

UK businesses can switch gas supply away from Opus Energy / Opus Gas Supply Ltd. (licence holder; current website states Opus Energy is closed) once their fixed contract ends, or after resolving any open objection or termination-window issue. The process is the same for every supplier on the non-domestic market, but a few checks done in the right order make the transfer materially faster.

  1. 1. Find your contract end date. It's on your last renewal letter or the most recent bill from Opus Energy / Opus Gas Supply Ltd. (licence holder; current website states Opus Energy is closed). Most non-domestic contracts have a 1 to 6 month termination window before that date, outside of which you may auto-roll onto a new fixed term.
  2. 2. Get your MPRN ready. The 21-digit MPAN (electricity) and 6 to 10-digit MPRN (gas) uniquely identify each meter and are needed for any competing quote. Both appear on your bill.
  3. 3. Compare against the live market. Opus Energy / Opus Gas Supply Ltd. (licence holder; current website states Opus Energy is closed) publishes its out-of-contract rates online, so the gap between those and a current fixed offer is easy to quantify. Purely Energy can run your meters against the wider UK panel and come back with the cheapest fixed offers.
  4. 4. Settle the final bill and clear any objections. Opus Energy / Opus Gas Supply Ltd. (licence holder; current website states Opus Energy is closed) will issue a final bill within 6 weeks of supply transferring. If a balance is outstanding, they can object to the switch under industry rules, so clear it before the transfer date to avoid a hold.
  5. 5. Sign the new contract. Once the new supplier has your MPAN/MPRN and signed contract, the transfer typically completes within 4 to 8 weeks. There is no break in supply, you simply receive your first bill from the new supplier.
