LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Drax Group (DXR.L), on Tuesday, announced that its subsidiary Pinnacle Renewable Energy Inc. has agreed to acquire the pellet sales contract book of Pacific BioEnergy Corp., adding 2.8Mt of orders for sustainable biomass supply to high-quality counterparties in Japan and Europe.
The company noted that these contracts are for delivery between 2022 and the mid-2030s, of which 0.3Mt is for delivery in 2022. The total incremental revenues over the contract period are around C$675 million.
