Drax is in talks with government about a “bridging mechanism” to cover the end of the current renewable schemes in 2027 and the start of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) operations at Drax Power Station. The company said that the mechanism is needed to “provide multi-year certainty allowing Drax to secure long-term biomass supplies and continue to support energy security via flexible and reliable renewable biomass operations in advance of BECCS”.
