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).

@traders The Balancing Mechanism Units have notified their shutdown (link is to RATS-4, the last to turn off). They will not generate any more power today.
Uniper, the operator of the power plant has released a press release saying that the plant will shutdown permanently at "midnight" today.
Accordingly, I will resolve YES tomorrow unless everyone has a last minute change of heart and they reverse the above.
