Moving away from coal is part of Britain’s strategy to reduce CO2 emissions, which aims to achieve clean energy generation by 2035.

Britain has closed the country’s last coal-fired power station, becoming the first developed country to phase out this energy source. The BBC writes about it.

Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottinghamshire will stop operating completely today, September 30.

The UK has ended the era of coal in the energy sector by closing the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station, which has been in operation since 1966. Since its launch, the plant has produced electricity for 57 years, providing electricity to approximately 2 million households. Throughout its existence, more than 141 thousand train warehouses with coal have been delivered here, the last batch was sent in June 2024.

The coal phase-out is part of Britain’s strategy to reduce CO2 emissions, which aims to achieve clean energy generation by 2035

The government is currently supporting the development of solar energy and wind farms, and is also planning the world’s largest electricity storage facility near Manchester.

We remind you that Sweden has become the third country in Europe after Austria and Belgium to close all coal-fired power plants. Stockholm Exergi’s Värtaverket power plant in Stockholm has ceased operations.
