Press Release Summary: Reuters chooses renewable energy from Cornish wind farm for
South West offices

Press Release Body: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

26 March 2008 - 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.

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.
