supply its offices in Devonwith 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 Devonby opting
to support local renewable generators through Opus Energy.
