The UK has fired up an old coal power plant to meet its electricity needs.
Warm, still autumn weather has meant wind farms have not generated as much power as normal, while soaring prices have made it too costly to rely on gas.
As a result, National Grid ESO - which is responsible for balancing the UK's electricity supply - confirmed coal was providing 3% of national power.
It said it asked EDF to fire up West Burton A, which had been on standby.
A National Grid ESO spokesman said there had been a three-day coal-free run in mid-August.
However, the country had relied on some coal power every day since then.
Last year, coal contributed 1.6% of the country's electricity mix. That was down from 25% five years ago.
Both the government and National Grid ESO have committed to phasing out coal power completely by 2024 to cut carbon emissions. However, coal is currently still used when it is better value than gas.
Record prices
And with gas prices hitting record highs this summer, more coal has been burnt to meet demand.
Across Europe, shortages and increased demand from Asia have seen the cost of gas increase to the highest level on record, according to Reuters.
A cold start to the year meant countries across the continent dipped into their gas reserves, which would normally be replenished in the summer months when demand tends to be weaker.
However, a number of unexpected disruptions to supply, coupled with an economic rebound as countries reopen from Covid-19 lockdowns, have created a shortage of gas.
A National Grid spokesman said: "In balancing the electricity system, we take actions in economical order and not on the basis of generation type.
"Depending on system conditions, some power sources may be better at meeting a balancing requirement than others - so the most cost-effective solution to ensure safe, secure system operation will be sought."
The Nuclear Industry Association said the decision to fire up another coal power plant highlighted the urgent need to invest in new nuclear plants.
"Otherwise, we will continue to burn coal as a fall-back and fall well short of our net zero ambitions," the trade body's chief executive, Tom Greatrex, said in a statement.
讲道理，最近天然气价格真的太高了，欧洲这边都涨了1000%了，就看今年北溪二号能不能顺利通气了
股票点的话，建议关注一下核电领域吧，最近才启动，例如中国广核，中国核电。
天然气已经涨过了，追高有点危险。

逻辑：韭菜知道天然气涨了，庄也知道天然气涨了，那就成了海狗的模式，明牌和你耗。 最有可能是拉一波然后回落，变成死水(韭菜的个人猜测)。
现在应该换一下投资理念了，找天然气的替代品，刚开始拉升的也就是核电了。
目前2.82入场中国广核，目标破前高(5.25)，对账单见楼中回复(小户，愿大佬别嘲笑)
