Last December two Drax units were declared eligible for contracts, now only one plant made the list of qualifying projects
Just another whinge from a big power company about the government’s slippery approach to subsidising renewable energy? Actually, no. Drax is right to be baffled as to why only one of its two coal units being converted to run on biomass has been deemed eligible for a fixed-price contract.
Ignore, for immediate purposes, the question of whether biomass pellets imported from Canada should be regarded as a sustainable form of energy. The issue here is the logic, or lack of it, at work in government policy.
