    The UK will become the first G7 country to stop producing electricity from coal. The last coal power plant in the country is in operation today.

    .

    This will put an end to the 140-year history of using coal electricity in Britain, writes Reuters.

    In 2015, the British government announced a plan to phase out fossil fuels, which included closing all coal-fired power stations over the next decade. At that time, about 30% of the country’s electricity was produced from coal. Last year this figure fell to 1%.

    The transition away from coal-fired electricity has helped cut the country’s greenhouse gas emissions by more than half since 1990.

    The last coal-fired power station at Ratcliffe-on-Soar, southwest of Nottingham, is on its last day of operation today. The country plans to achieve zero emissions by 2050, and to do this it will try to switch as much as possible to renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar.
