The UK Government has promised to eliminate coal-fired thermal generation from the UK grid by October 2024. The three remaining units, all part of the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station are scheduled to shut down in September 2024.

Will this be completed as scheduled?

Resolves as YES on 2024-10-01 if closure of all coal units is confirmed. Confirmation could be by press release, physical destruction or other convincing evidence (e.g. deregistration as Balancing Mechanism units).
