The closure of Ratcliffe-on-Soar marks a significant moment in Britain's energy history, ending its reliance on coal, which powered the nation for generations.
Last year coal provided only 1.3 percent of Britain's power, demonstrating the country's rapid transition away from fossil fuels compared to other industrial nations.
While many welcome the end of coal due to its environmental impact, there is growing concern about the economic implications of such a swift transition.
Aiming for a carbon-neutral power system by 2030, Britain is becoming a test case for other nations to see how quickly fossil fuel use can be reduced.
