Press Release Summary: New enhancements to the Opus Evolution product give customers
greater control over energy portfolio


Press Release Body: 21 May 2008 - Opus Energy, a leading independent supplier of
electricity to UK businesses, has today unveiled new advancements to Opus Evolution,
its market-leading online energy purchasing system. With volatility in the energy
markets, Opus Evolution allows customers direct access to wholesale energy prices,
giving them the power to determine when and how much energy to purchase.

This pioneering product is another example of how independent electricity suppliers
like Opus Energy are developing new innovative technology solutions to meet customer
needs and succeed in this competitive market. Launched just six months ago and
offered exclusively by Opus Energy, this unique purchasing system provides the
definitive alternative to the fixed price plan.

This second stage of enhancements has been driven by customer feedback as well as
meeting the growing demands of customers wishing to make crucial decisions
themselves and move away from dependence on fixed pricing.

Significant new developments and functionality of Opus Evolution include:
 Online position reports to enable customers to track their energy
purchasing strategy
 Real-time online access to market wholesale prices
 Seamless integration with their online electricity account to enable
customers to easily manage their electricity account information

To help drive the success of Opus Evolution, Opus Energy has bolstered its Corporate
Solutions team with the appointment of Jon Daniels as Product Manager. Formerly with
British Gas Business and Enron Direct, Jon brings with him seven years' experience
in commercial utilities. His key focus will be on engaging with customers who use
the product, driving future development and helping Opus Energy grow its corporate
base.

Steve James, Commercial Director at Opus Energy, said: "Flexibility is essential to
allow companies to optimize their purchasing strategies and help control the ever
increasing cost of energy. Opus Evolution is at the forefront of this market and we
will continue to look at further advancements to better equip our customers.

"At this crucial time in the development of Opus Evolution, we are delighted to have
Jon join the Corporate Solutions team. His significant utility market experience
coupled with his enthusiasm and progressive approach will contribute notably to Opus
Evolution's growth and the service our customers receive."
