Ofgem found that Drax met only 37% of its obligations under the government’s community energy saving programme
The energy regulator has ordered power generator Drax to pay a record £28m for failing to help thousands of deprived households save money on their electricity bills.
Drax, operator of Britain’s largest coal-fired power station, near Selby (left), will pay up to £20m to consumers who missed out on the savings, with a further £8m to be paid partly as a fine and partly to consumers. Another generation company, InterGen, will pay a fine of £11m.
