Metropolitan Housing Group renews energy contract with Opus Energy

Opus Energy, a leading independent supplier of electricity to UK businesses, has secured a contract to supply part of the energy requirement for the Metropolitan Housing Group with electricity for a second year running.

Opus Energy is a popular choice with housing associations, which now total an estimated £7.5million in revenue per annum for the independent supplier.

According to the company, experience in the sector is vital and enables the provision of a tailored service to suit the needs of each housing association.

An Opus Energy corporate account manager worked closely with The Monarch Partnership, which is the Metropolitan Housing Group’s specialist energy brokers, and was able to provide the most economical pricing tariff for the contract that was up for agreement by the Group.

In a time of volatile energy prices, Opus Energy found a solution by recommending the security of a fixed price tariff at a competitive price.

Steve James runs the corporate account team at Opus Energy and works closely with Metropolitan Housing Group.

He said: "We understand the issues that affect Housing Associations and recognise budgeting needs, as well as being able to rely on clear, accurate bills.

"We have built up a wealth of experience from working directly in the sector and specialise in the supply and management of Housing Associations’ electricity portfolios.”

Bernard Tominey, Procurement Director from the Metropolitan Housing Group, said: "Opus Energy was able to assess the needs of our company in detail and suggest a tailored price plan with the The Monarch Partnership that now allows us to budget effectively for our energy requirement."

Opus Energy now supplies electricity for housing associations including: Guinness Trust Housing Association, Oxford Citizens Housing Association Ltd, Yorkshire Housing Group, Liverpool Housing Trust and Northern Counties Housing Association.
