Coal is being steadily phased out of the United Kingdom's electricity supply mix. In 2010, coal power amounted to terawatt-hours. A decade later, less than ** terawatt-hours were annually produced from coal. Meanwhile, in 2023, renewable sources were the main fuel used for electricity in the UK, with terawatt-hours generated. The second-highest fuel type that year was gas, generating terawatt-hours worth of electricity.
