flag Drax plans to cut 350 jobs in the UK and North America amid its shift to renewable energy, citing long-term strategy, not performance issues.

flag Drax has announced plans to cut over 350 jobs in the UK and North America as part of a restructuring aimed at securing long-term success and supporting its shift to renewable energy. flag The company, which reported strong financial performance and plans to develop a data center at its Yorkshire site by 2027, said the job reductions reflect no fault in employee performance. flag Unions GMB and Unite condemned the move, calling it a betrayal of workers and arguing that a just energy transition requires preserving skilled jobs. flag They urged government intervention to ensure workers are protected and that policy supports a fair transition. flag Drax employed about 3,250 people globally at the end of 2024.
