18 Dec 2024   

Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station, near Nottingham UK, closed its doors for the last time on 30 September 2024, marking the closure of the UK’s last coal-fired power plant.

The announcement was made by plant owner Uniper, which confirmed the power station would cease operating at midnight. The plant began generating power in 1967 and according to the Uniper release, has produced enough energy to make more than 21 trillion cups of tea since commissioning.
