In January 2018 we set out that all coal-fired power stations in GB will need to close by 1 October 2025 unless they invest to reduce their emissions to 450g CO2 per kWh. The exact timing of closure decisions or investments in abatement technology is a commercial matter for the relevant plant owner.
