What we do
Keeping the lights on: how we support the UK’s energy security.
Energy security, affordability, and decarbonisation remained important themes in 2025 and at Drax – which sits at the heart of the UK energy system – we are continuing to play our part in addressing these issues.
Responsible biomass sourcing
Our responsibility, policies, and information around the carbon cycle.
Sustainably sourced biomass plays an important role in supporting energy security as the world decarbonises, displacing fossil fuels with renewable generation like wind and solar.
However, wind and solar are intermittent. The energy system needs dispatchable power, such as biomass, pumped storage, and battery storage that supports intermittent renewables when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow.
Looking ahead
Putting in place the structures to allow the Group to succeed and grow.
Delivery of the Group’s targets and strategy is underpinned by disciplined cost management and an operating model adapted to reflect the structure of the new low carbon dispatchable CfD, combined with a high-performance culture.
Market context
The global energy landscape in 2025 continued to evolve amid a complex landscape of geopolitical, economic, and trade tensions, the prioritisation of energy security, and accelerating demand for power.
Drax, through our flexible generation strategy, sustainable biomass production, and in the longer term potential for carbon removals, is aligned to this change. By delivering dispatchable, low-carbon power where it matters most, and leveraging our sustainable biomass supply chain, we are well placed to support global energy systems and continue to develop our business with benefits to our investors and stakeholders.
