Out of Spain's 15 coal-fired plants, seven ceased operations on June 30. Four more will soon follow, putting Spain on track to ultimately become coal-free. The country closed all its coal mines two and a half years ago as a result of the European Union banning their state aid.
The seven plants that have shut generated 4,630 megawatts (MW) of power. The four that have filed for permission to shut down create 3,092MW of power.
