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.
In fact, generating electricity from coal is cheaper than the cost of producing electricity from natural gas. In the United States, 23 of the 25 electric power plants with the lowest operating costs are using coal.
