The power generator Drax has agreed to pay £25m after the energy industry regulator found it had submitted inaccurate sustainability data on the sourcing of wood pellets used at its massive plant in North Yorkshire.
An investigation by Ofgem, which was launched last year, concluded there was “an absence of adequate data governance and controls in place” on the sourcing of wood by Drax from Canada between April 2021 and the end of March 2022.
