Drax Group Plc, owner of the U.K.’s largest coal-fired power station, fell by a record in London after the government offered less financial support than expected for a switch to burning low-carbon fuel.

Drax, based in Selby, northern England, dropped 76.5 pence, or 15 percent, to 442 pence, the biggest decline since the company started trading in 2005.
