The closure of the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station marks the end of an era for the UK, as it concludes a 150-year dependence on coal for electricity generation.
Transitioning from coal to renewable energy showcases the UK's commitment to addressing climate change, demonstrating a significant reduction in reliance on fossil fuels since the 1990s.
The closure of the last coal-fired power station in Britain is a historic moment, positioning the UK as a leader in the G7 and the broader global effort towards cleaner energy.
With coal's contribution dropping dramatically from 80% in 1990 to just 1% last year, renewables have surged, now comprising over half of the UK's energy supply.
