The UK is ending its reliance on coal for electricity production after 142 years, marking a major milestone in its climate change ambitions.
The last coal-fired power station in the UK, located at Ratcliffe-on-Soar near Nottingham, will cease operations on Monday.
Coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel, has been replaced by cleaner energy sources, including renewables, which now generate over 50% of the UK's electricity.
This transition signifies the UK's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and sets an example for other countries to follow.
