    Eggborough coal power station in East Yorkshire, England, which has been in operation for 48 years
    , is scheduled to close this year.

    Since the 70s, the Eggborough coal power station has been able to meet five percent of the surrounding electricity demand
    when fully operational.

    But after September 2017, if the government has not agreed to invest in factories under the capacity market contract system, coal shipments will stop and about 200 people will lose their jobs
    .

    It is understood that the coal power plant was originally planned to operate for 25 years, but it has actually operated for 48 years and has now replaced coal power with nuclear power
    .
