Biomass Outage at Drax Power Station
Following an unplanned outage on the rail unloading facilities
at Drax Power Station, biomass deliveries are currently restricted
and, in order to optimise available supplies, generation on the two
ROC(1) units has been reduced. These two units will then be taken
offline for a short period. The CfD(2) unit and coal operations
remain unaffected.
The outage on the rail unloading facilities is currently
expected to be completed during January 2018, at which point the
ROC(1) units should return to service.
Reflecting the outage and reduced generation on the ROC(1)
units, Drax currently expects a reduction in EBITDA(3) of GBP10
million in 2017.
