Drax is pleased to announce that it has completed the refinancing of its revolving credit facility (RCF) ("The Facility").

The new sustainability-linked £450 million facility matures in 2027, with options to extend by two years⁽¹⁾. The Facility, which provides additional liquidity, replaces the current £300 million RCF which matures in 2026 and is undrawn for cash.
