That's a bit unfair to the UK.
Only 1.8% of power in the UK was generated from coal in 2020, down from 40% in 2012. The three remaining plants are all scheduled to close by October 2024:
• Kilroot Power Station is due to be converted to gas in 2023/2024.
• Ratcliffe-on-Soap Power Station is due to close in September 2024, although ¼ of it will close next year.
• West Burton Power Station is to close in September 2022.
