Drax, the UK’s biggest generator of renewable electricity, is expanding its rail fleet, with an order for UK built rolling stock. The iconic cooling towers of the power station complex will be better served by an investment in 30 new rail wagons. The new fleet will help to deliver the biomass needed by the power station complex to generate enough renewable power for four million UK homes. The North Yorkshire power station site is already one of rail freight’s biggest customers.
