Our activities are underpinned by safety, sustainability, operational excellence and expertise in our markets.

We across three principal areas of activity:

Pellet production

A leading producer of wood pellets from sustainable low-value commercial forestry residues.

Our pellets provide a sustainable, low carbon fuel source that can be safely and efficiently delivered through our global supply chain. Drax’s Generation business uses these pellets to make flexible, renewable electricity for the UK.

Based in North America, this part of our business aims to increase capacity from 1.6Mt to 5Mt and reduce production costs by 2027, to support a long-term future for sustainable biomass.

Generation:

A portfolio of flexible and renewable UK power generation.

Our multi-site, multi-technology portfolio of flexible, low-carbon and renewable UK power assets (including biomass and hydro generation) provides power and system support services to the electricity grid.

This portfolio provides long-term earnings stability and opportunities to optimise returns from the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Drax is the UK’s largest single source of renewable electricity by output and is developing an option for carbon negative electricity using bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS).

The Group also has options for system support gas assets and a long-term option for the potential expansion of pumped storage.
