I believe, having read about it constantly in Private Eye who have been monitoring Drax, that Whitehall - both the civil service and the politicians - have just woken up to the realisation that Drax is far from producing green energy, in fact very far from it.
I think that negotiations on renewing their contract - if memory serves, it expires in 2027 - are pretty well stalled as Whitehall is only just now reluctant to continue with the heavy subsidisation.
