Coal has not been burnt in the UK for two weeks as Britain hits a new clean energy record by generating electricity without coal for two weeks.
The new record marks the longest period that coal has not helped power Britain since the industrial revolution.
National Grid said yesterday: ‘We can now confirm that Great Britain’s electricity system will pass the fortnight mark for no coal generation this afternoon! The last coal generator came off the system at 3.12pm on 17th May – meaning we will achieve #coalfreefortnight at 3:12pm today!!’
This means Great Britain has not needed coal – considered a highly polluting way to produce energy fuel for 336 hours.
