UK Feb coal consumption down to 3.62 million mt, four-month low

摘要

The UK’s rate of thermal coal burn in February fell by 6.8% month on month and 12.4% year on year to 3.62 million mt, a four-month low, according to data from the Department of Energy and Climate Change Thursday. DECC said the on-year decline was due to outages at sev eral power stations, the closure of Uskmouth and the partial closure of Ferrybridge C during 2014, as well as a second unit of Drax Power being converted to biomass and changes in the relative prices of coal and gas.
