Ofgem to Audit Drax Group's Biomass Supply Chain

Ofgem to Audit Drax Group's Biomass Supply Chain

Imagine a company called Drax that burns wood to make electricity.

The UK's energy watchdog, Ofgem, wants to check where Drax gets its wood from.

They're going to look at suppliers in different countries to make sure everything is above board.

Drax had to pay a fine before because some of their information wasn't quite right.

The audit will be done by an outside company and will take a while to complete.

Ofgem wants to ensure Drax is following the rules and is using the wood responsibly.

Drax says they're cooperating and want to be transparent about where their wood comes from.

If the audit finds any problems, Ofgem can take action.
