In 1990, the electricity industry of England and Wales was privatised under the Electricity Act 1989. Three generating companies and 12 regional electricity companies were created. As a result of privatisation, Drax Power Station came under the ownership of National Power, one of the newly formed generating companies.
One significant change was the emergence of vertically integrated companies, combining generation, distribution and supply interests. In certain cases, it became necessary for generation assets to be divested, and so in 1999 Drax Power Station was acquired by the US-based AES Corporation for £1.87 billion (US$3 billion).
Drax supports over 2,300 small scale generators, buying renewable power including hydro, wind, solar and anaerobic digestion through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). Drax also allows large businesses to create bespoke renewable power contracts with its large hydro generators through Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs).
