The Unite union said on Monday that an "excellent increase" was secured, after more than 180 of its members took a day’s strike action on 20 February, having rejected an 8% pay rise.
Fresh negotiations were held and Drax made an improved offer, including back pay, which equates to an increase of 16%.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "This was an excellent increase for Unite members at Drax, who by showing unity and standing up to their employer secured a vastly improved pay increase.
"The pay increase at Drax demonstrates how Unite’s absolute commitment to focus on jobs, pay and conditions is delivering for members."
