Press Release Summary: Opus Energy to procure renewable energy for Reuters South
West offices from Cornish wind farm.
Opus Energy, a leading independent supplier of electricity to UK businesses, is
working with global information company Reuters to supply its offices in Devon with
100% renewable energy from a local wind farm.


Press Release Body: By teaming up with local wind farm Cornwall Light and Power, the
forward-thinking Reuters management team are supporting the local community as well
as going green.
Reuters recently renewed their electricity contract with Opus Energy for the fourth
year running. Having recently agreed to purchase the entire renewable obligation
certificate output from Cornwall Light and Power, Opus Energy was able to offer
Reuters a renewable energy source close to home.

Julia Fuller, Corporate Responsibility Manager for Reuters said, "We are delighted
to have the opportunity to choose where our electricity is sourced from with Opus
Energy. Importantly we also wanted to give back to the community by sourcing our
electricity locally."

All renewable energy supplied to Reuters by Opus Energy is exempt from Climate
Change Levy tax, which means that being environmentally friendly is also a cost
neutral choice.

Steve James, Director of the corporate account management team at Opus Energy said,
"Working closely with Reuters we learned that the company wanted to be socially as
well as environmentally responsible. By offering a range of renewable energy sources
to Reuters we were able to help them chose a locally sustainable option for powering
their company".

UK businesses can follow the example set by Reuters in Devon by opting to support
local renewable generators through Opus Energy.
