TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS AND SHARE CAPITAL

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

That, as at 29 February 2012, the Company's issued share capital consisted of 364,864,494 ordinary shares of 11 16/29 each with voting rights (the "Voting Rights Figure").

As at 29 February 2012 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 allotting 1,776 new shares to satisfy the exercise of share options in accordance with the rules of the Company's Savings-Related Share Option 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 FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
