Compare Drax Business Energy

Drax provides businesses with renewable, responsibly-sourced, sustainable biomass electricity, which produces 86% less carbon than coal-generated energy.

Biomass is organic matter, such as wood or plant materials used for power generation, in industry and as an alternative source of heating. Biomass is used in the same way as coal, but with lower associated carbon emissions.

Drax offers “fixed” and “flex” business energy plans. Fixed plans mean customers fix the price of their energy and are not affected by the movement of energy prices. Flex plans mean that as energy prices rise and fall, the cost of their energy units will also rise and fall and you can control when you buy power to manage market fluctuations.

Most business energy deals don’t offer a cooling-off period, even if you’ve only agreed the contract over the phone. So make sure you’re clear on the terms and conditions before going ahead with the switch.
