Generating coal power. Coal contains energy that the plants absorbed from the sun â burning coal releases this energy. It can be used to heat water to generate steam, which is then used to drive a turbine to generate electricity. Coal is generally considered to be a reliable energy source for generating electricity. In 2013 around 29% of the world's electricity was generated using coal, and in 2014, coal-fired power stations supplied about 29% of the electricity used in the UK. Coal is abundant but finite.
The average share of electricity generated from coal in the US has dropped from 52.8% in 1997 to 45.0% in 2009. In 2009, there were 1436 coal-powered units at the electrical utilities across the US, with a total nominal capacity of 338.732 MW (compared to 1024 units at nominal 278 GW in 2000).
