Britain is on track to get less than 5% of its electricity from coal for the first time since the Industrial Revolution, the Department for Business and Energy (BEIS) said.
The country is also on track to take polluting coal power off the electricity grid ahead of the 2025 deadline set by ministers, the department said."
