From Cockenzie in East Lothian to Ratcliffe-on-Soar in Nottinghamshire, the stations on the original list have been closed and, in most cases, demolished. Fifteen of those are already down: 17.0 GW of coal and 7.7 GW of oil, 24.7 GW in all. Four more, another 7.5 GW, are already off the grid and still being demolished. That includes the last coal plant in the country. Uniper’s Ratcliffe-on-Soar, 2,000 MW, ended generation on 30 September 2024. Britain now has no operating coal-fired power stations. These are nameplate figures, the right unit for how much reliable plant was taken down. They are not what each station was putting out in its last winters, and they are not the same as a NESO de-rated margin. The 33.9 GW headline total is the original 19 stations, plus Drax’s two remaining coal units (1,320 MW, commercial generation ended in March 2021) and Uskmouth B in Newport (363 MW, last coal in April 2017). Lynemouth in Northumberland (420 MW, last coal in December 2015, converted in 2018) and four of Drax’s six units (2,640 MW, converted between 2013 and 2018) left the coal fleet, but they were converted to biomass, were not demolished, and are still generating. Kilroot in County Antrim closed 560 MW of coal plant on 30 September 2023, with gas generation later built on the same site; it sits on the Northern Ireland system, not the Great Britain grid, and is listed separately. High Marnham (1,000 MW) and Drakelow C (1,075 MW) were later demolished, but both closed in 2003, before the 2006 to 2025 window used for the China comparison, so they are not in the 33.9 GW total. Closure came years before the chimneys fell. Kingsnorth stopped in 2012. Cockenzie, Didcot A and Tilbury B stopped in 2013. Cottam, the last of the ten demolished coal stations on the original list, closed in September 2019; its eight cooling towers were brought down together on 14 August 2025. Some of the oil plant had barely been used for a long time. Inverkip last generated in January 1988 and was decommissioned in 2006, before demolition in 2010 to 2013. Richborough closed in 1996; its towers came down in 2012 and the turbine hall in 2016. They were still dispatchable capacity, removed rather than replaced like-for-like. Didcot B, the gas station next to the demolished Didcot A, is still running. At Grain, only the 1,320 MW oil station was demolished; a gas station on the same site is still operational. Ironbridge B and Aberthaw B had co-fired or converted toward biomass before they closed. They are on the list because they were built as coal plant and belong to the same lost dispatchable fleet. Aberthaw B was largely demolished during 2026.
