It is not the first time we have gone without coal-power for a period of time, but the last record was 19 hours in 2016. The fact that this time it was an entire day shows that we no longer need to rely on coal power to power the UK.
On Friday 21st April, power came from a range of sources including; natural gas (50.3%), nuclear (21.2%), wind (12.2%), biomass (6.7%) and solar (3.6%).
