WRD Power Generation

Gas-fired power plants were responsible for more than 40% of Britain’s electricity production last year while the fuel is also used to heat around 80% of British homes.

Operators of coal plants, such as Drax (DRX.L) and EDF (EDF.PA), have been running down coal stocks and preparing for closure. The government remains committed to a longer-term plan to close all of the country’s coal-fired power plants by October 2024 to help it to hit climate targets.

Separately, the UK Government said that it will allow electricity generation sites in the UK, which have been given limited life derogation (LLD), to operate until 30 September 2024, to address energy security issues if they arise.
