Who is currently the best for a PPA
1 yearWhat contract period if you don't mind me asking
Try LimejumpThey quoted me 5.3 today for a 1 year contract for 45kw solar system but I think the guaranteed minimum increased in april to 5.24 and any rocs etc would have some value on top of that so they are not being that generous.
just so those of you with opus are aware , if they send you a renewal letter 2 months before your contract is due to end , ACT ON IT !!!!
if you dont 30 days later still with 1 month of your current contract left they they will lock you in to the offer price they sent you automatically as said 30 days before your contract actually expires.
quite by chance i had been speaking with opus about import contract Renewal 2 weeks before my letter arrived and that prompted me to ask for a PPA quote , it was not that good so I asked limejump and agreed with them for export , so limejump applied to opus to take the export power over at the end of the contract period but opus refused quoting that i had not responded to their offer so was locked in .
I was only saved from the year tie in because the offer i received 2 weeks before the official " tie in letter" was received made no mention if any tie in and was the standard sign this before 4.30 to accept sort of offer, when i pointed this out they backed down.
But opus meant business and I got the distinct impression that there Modus operandi was "offer low and tie in" To be fair to OPUS when i went back and read the letter did clearly state that i had to respond within 30 days but as i had already received an offer I did not read it in detail , assuming it was a notification of the contract ending .
I was very disappointed in opus for the tactics , they started out as one of the good guys fighting the big power companies , but the tactics now see like they are one of them , I would not be surprised if they are readying themselves for a sale to one of the larger power companies , and tying to better the margins ahead of that .
Opus were purchased by Drax last year.... https://www.drax.com/investors/completion-acquisition-opus-energy-group-limited/

There are other processors pay a lot quicker thoughYou can just leave your FIT payments with Opus. They are legally obliged to keep processing the FIT for you, regardless of you moving your import/export contracts elsewhere.
You can switch to another provider for your FIT payments if you like but I don't see the point. Opus process A LOT of FIT's and in my experience they are quite good at it!
