Drax Energy Supplier Guide

Drax’s fixed energy products offer you cost simplicity to secure your prices upfront, so you’re not always thinking about costs. They also offer simple, fixed bills every month that don’t expose you to the risk of market price changes. If you use over 30MWh each year and want budget certainty, a Fix plan could be right for you.

Drax has recently launched Fixed Complete Zero, a tariff offering available with select energy brokers, including Power Compare. Available as with tender contracts currently this tariff offers:

• REGO cost excluded from the tariff
• Renewable tariff is the same price as non-renewable

For higher power consumers, a flex plan could be the right choice for your business, if you use more than 2GWh of power annually, you could mitigate risk and make savings by tracking the market with a Flex plan.

They allow you to control costs by choosing when to buy your power, save money and reduce your costs. Not only that but they also allow you to understand your usage with transparent billing and direct access to Drax’s trading desk.

Organisations can help National Grid balance electricity supply and demand by flexing their consumption. Turning electric assets off or down at peak usage times reduces the risk of blackouts or National Grid having to call on expensive backup power.

Asset examples include:

• Combined heat and power units
• Heating, drying, and cooling processes
• Air Separation
• Cold storage/refrigeration
• Pumps/ motors
• Engines

If businesses manage their demand carefully and flex when National Grid requests, they can generate revenue without disrupting their operations.

A PPA lets you sell the excess electricity you generate to a utility company or other buyer for a fixed price and over an agreed period.

A PPA can be straightforward, or complex, depending on your needs. You may have one site with one generation technology, or multiple sites with different commercial needs.

Whatever type of contract you agree to, a PPA covers the sale of the excess energy you generate, creating additional value for your business.

A CPPA acts as a means of connecting the power your organisation consumes to a specific renewable power generator. This can relate to an existing or future renewable generation project.

Drax buys renewable electricity from around 2,300 generators and has renewable generation assets too. This means they’re well-placed to identify a generator that’s both close to you and using the technology type you want to support.

As a licensed energy supplier, Drax can readily facilitate your Corporate Power Purchase Agreement journey – including registration, balancing when consumption and supply aren’t in step and settlement.
