Drax Group plc, operating alongside its various subsidiaries, primarily focuses on generating renewable energy across the United Kingdom. Its business activities are structured into three distinct divisions: Generation, Customers, and Pellet Production. The Generation segment delivers flexible, sustainable power and critical grid support services. The Customers division offers energy management solutions and non-generation system assistance. Low-carbon fuel production is the core activity of the Pellet Production segment. Drax possesses a notable collection of power generation assets, including the 2,000-megawatt (MW) Drax Power Station in Selby, North Yorkshire, which serves as its primary facility. It also oversees the 440 MW Cruachan Power Station, a pumped-hydro storage site located in Argyll and Bute, and operates the Lanark and Galloway hydro-electric stations in southwest Scotland, which collectively supply 126 MW. In addition to power generation, the company runs the Daldowie fuel plant, converting sludge into dry, low-odour fuel pellets. Drax further manufactures and markets compressed wood pellets and supplies renewable electricity. Incorporated in 2005, Drax Group plc is headquartered in Selby, United Kingdom.
