TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS AND SHARE CAPITAL

In conformity with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules provision 5.6.1R, Drax Group plc (the "Company") advises of the following:

That, as at 31 January 2016, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 406,347,243 ordinary shares of 11 16/29 pence each with voting rights (the "Voting Rights Figure").

As at 31 January 2016 and at the time of this announcement, no shares are held in treasury by the Company.

The increase in the issued share capital and Voting Rights figure is due to the allotment of 30,081 new shares to satisfy the vesting of share awards in accordance with the rules of the Company's Bonus Matching Plan.

The Voting Rights figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their voting rights interest, or a change to that interest, in the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
