"UK's biggest power producer Drax is considering the conversion of its
remaining coal-fired power units to gas, instead of biomass power, as
originally planned"

"Management believe a gas-fired power conversion would allow the company
to qualify for 15-year contracts in the country's capacity market
auctions. As the government has already changed is stance on renewable
energy subsidies which had made biomass conversion attractive, this
would be a logical step for Drax"

gas-instead-of-biomass-conversion.html

This is the result of a lack of joined-up thinking in govt energy
policy, is it not?
