Our purpose is to enable a zero carbon, lower cost energy future
Will Gardiner, Drax Group CEO
“If we are to avert a climate catastrophe, more urgent action must be taken to get to net zero. As an integral part of the energy sector, I believe Drax has a pivotal role to play in driving the transition to renewable electricity by enabling a more flexible energy system which can deliver secure, renewable power when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow and, in 2022, Drax continued to play an important role in supporting the security of energy supply in the UK.”
