Britain’s last coal-fired power station to close next week
BRITAIN’S last coal-fired power station Ratcliffe-on-Soar will close its doors on Monday.
The power station, located in Nottinghamshire, has supplied the nation with electricity since 1968.
Its closure will mark the end of Britain’s 142-year reliance on the fossil fuel, and make Britain the first G7 country to phase out coal power.
