Nottinghamshire's Ratcliffe-on-Soar plant was the last of its kind following Britain 's 2015 commitment to close all coal power plants by 2025 .

The plant was originally scheduled to shut down in 2022 but stayed open after Russia invaded Ukraine and Europe entered a gas crisis.

Coal was responsible for 39 percent of the UK 's energy supply in 2012 but shrunk to just two percent in 2019 .
