"A tax on carbon dioxide emissions in Great Britain,
introduced in 2013, has led to the proportion of electricity generated
from coal falling from 40% to 3% over six years, according to research
led by UCL.
British electricity generated from coal fell from 13.1 TWh (terawatt hours) in 2013 to 0.97 TWh in September 2019, and was replaced by other less emission-heavy forms of generation such as gas. The decline in coal generation accelerated substantially after the tax was increased in 2015."
