German Utilities Firm RWE To Close Its Last UK Coal Plant

German energy company RWE is planning to close its last coal plant in the UK.

After half a century, the Aberthaw power plant in Wales will be shut down, leaving only four coal plants in service in the UK following a series of closures.

The UK used coal for just 5 percent of its electricity last year and went completely without coal-generated energy for more than a week ago this year.

Coal is set to be banned as the UK moves towards meeting its climate objectives from 2025 onwards.
