The thermal efficiency of coal fired stations in the United Kingdom presented an overall trend of decline until 2019 to rise again from 2020. In 2023, coal fired stations recorded a thermal efficiency of 35.8 percent, meaning that 35.8 percent of the heat energy contained in coal was converted in electricity.
