One of the UK’s biggest power plants could lose its Government funding due to an Ofgem probe into alleged “greenwashing”. Drax, which produced 11 per cent of the UK’s electricity in 2019, is under scrutiny by the regulator following allegations that it was burning wood from ancient forests to generate electricity. …The audit by Ofgem could see it stripped of all green subsidies if it were to face the harshest penalty. Last year, an investigation by BBC Panorama revealed that Drax was logging virgin forest in Canada, while claiming that most of its pellets came from sawdust. …A Drax spokesperson said: “We frequently receive information requests from Ofgem and they also undertake regular audits of Drax to ensure our adherence to our obligations. “We take all requests from Ofgem very seriously and are committed to ensuring the biomass we source delivers positive outcomes for the climate.”
