Let’s hope they don’t have another January.
From earlier this year…
Britain’s last active coal plant, Ratcliffe-on-Soar, helped generate 3.4% of all electricity produced in the UK at the start of the week, well above average levels throughout the year…
The National Grid ESO had five coal plants on standby last winter to add extra capacity at times of peak demand. This winter, only Ratcliffe has remained online after the four other units closed.
