A spokesperson for Drax said:
“We note that the appointment of an auditor into our historical biomass profiling data, agreed to at the time of the closure of the Ofgem investigation in August 2024, has been announced today. We fully support this independent external audit process, working with Forvis Mazars and Ofgem, to add further rigour and transparency to our profiling data reporting.
“We play a vital role in providing power when the sun doesn’t shine and wind doesn’t blow, so ensuring we are transparent about the sustainability of our biomass is an essential part of how we work.
“Following the competitive tender process to appoint an auditor, we are looking forward to working with Forvis Mazars and building on our programme of continual improvement.”
ENDS
