"Austria officially closed its last coal-fired power plant on Friday (17 April), becoming the second EU country to exit coal after Belgium in 2016.
The definitive closure of Verbund’s Mellach coal-fired district heating plant was announced last year after relentless campaigning by climate activists Global 2000.
The plant stopped operating on Friday after the end of the heating season.
The closure is “a historic step”, said Leonore Gewessler, Austria’s minister for climate action, environment, energy and mobility. “By 2030, we will convert to 100% green electricity,” she added.
Austria has now become the second EU country to halt coal burning for electricity production after Belgium closed its last coal power plant in 2016." ～ Frédéric Simon @EURACTIV
