Protestors target Drax at its AGM

ENERGY: Environmental activists are expected to gather outside Drax’s Annual General Meeting in York today. The protests are expected to concern Drax’s burning of wood pellets.

Drax owns the formerly coal-fired Drax Power Station in Selby, Yorkshire, which now runs 70 per cent on biomass in the form of imported wood pellets, having converted four of its units to biomass since 2009.
