According to the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), between the months of July and September last year,
50 per cent of the country’s electricity was produced primarily by wind and
solar farms, as well as wood and nuclear power plants.
Scotland's last coal power plant closed in spring 2016, and
two of the largest coal plants in England were also decommissioned.
As a result, the proportion of electricity generated by coal
fell from 16.7 per cent in the third quarter of 2015, to just 3.6 per cent over
the same period in 2016.
