UK's last coal-fired power station set to close
Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottinghamshire has been producing energy since 1967
The closure of the UK's last coal-fired power station has been described by officials as a "tremendously important milestone" in energy production.
Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station in Nottinghamshire is due to shut early next week, with demolition of the site to follow after decommissioning, which is set to take two years.
The site - a landmark in the East Midlands - has been producing energy since 1967, enough to make more than one billion cups of tea per day.
Mike Lewis, CEO of the site's owner Uniper, told the BBC the closure was a key step in the "global route to decarbonisation".
