Britain has a target to close its coal-fired power plants by October 2024 as part of efforts to cut fossil fuel emissions and meet its 2050 net-zero target

National Grid ESO did not comment on why the notification had been issued. Power plant operator Uniper did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “It is a sign of failure that the National Grid is turning to one of the most polluting forms of power generation to deal with a summer heatwave that we know has been made worse because of climate change,” Ami McCarthy, political campaigner at environmental group Greenpeace UK said in a statement.
