The appointment of PwC will be recommended to shareholders for approval at Drax's Annual General Meeting in 2024. Further disclosure on the formal competitive tender process conducted by the Audit Committee will be set out in Drax's Annual Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 due for publication in March 2022.
