The UK has shut down its only remaining coal-fired power station, bringing to an end a 142-year dependence on fossil fuel by the country that invented it as an industrial power source.
The country’s last remaining coal power station, located in Nottinghamshire’s Ratcliffe-on-Soar, ceased operations at midnight on Monday, signalling a new chapter for the UK energy mix.
The decision to close the Ratcliffe-on-Soar plant makes the UK the first G7 nation to end its use of coal and marks the conclusion of a swift divestment from the fossil fuel by the UK, where coal power was invented in 1882.
