<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>dated April&nbsp;29, 2020 </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This supplement
amends certain information in the SAI dated April&nbsp;29, 2020, of BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure&nbsp;&amp; Power Opportunities Trust (the &#147;Trust&#148;). Unless otherwise indicated, all other information included in the SAI that is not
inconsistent with the information set forth in this supplement remains unchanged. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this supplement have the same meanings as in the SAI. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Effective immediately, the following change is made to the SAI: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The section of the SAI entitled &#147;Investment Policies and Techniques&#148; is amended to add the following at the end of such section: </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Environmental, Social and Governance (&#147;ESG&#148;) Integration </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although the Trust does not seek to implement a specific ESG, impact or sustainability strategy, Trust management will consider ESG characteristics as part of
the investment process for actively managed funds such as the Trust. These considerations will vary depending on a fund&#146;s particular investment strategies and may include consideration of third-party research as well as consideration of
proprietary research of the Advisor across the ESG risks and opportunities regarding an issuer. Trust management will consider those ESG characteristics it deems relevant or additive when making investment decisions for the Trust. The ESG
characteristics utilized in the Trust&#146;s investment process are anticipated to evolve over time and one or more characteristics may not be relevant with respect to all issuers that are eligible for investment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">ESG characteristics are not the sole considerations when making investment decisions for the Trust. Further, investors can differ in their views of what
constitutes positive or negative ESG characteristics. As a result, the Trust may invest in issuers that do not reflect the beliefs and values with respect to ESG of any particular investor. ESG considerations may affect the Trust&#146;s exposure to
certain companies or industries and the Trust may forego certain investment opportunities. While Trust management views ESG considerations as having the potential to contribute to the Trust&#146;s long-term performance, there is no guarantee that
such results will be achieved. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Investors should retain this supplement for future reference. </B></P>
