According to DTI, conventional thermal generation in 2004 consisted of Natural Gas (53 percent), Coal (44 percent), Oil (2 percent), and other (1 percent). One of the largest power plants in the UK is the Drax facility in North Yorkshire, which consists of six coal-fired units with total capacity of 4,000 megawatts (MW). The long-term trend in UK power generation has been a move from coal-fired plants to combined-cycle, gas-fired turbines (CCGFT). As a result, according to DTI, electricity generation from CCGFTs increased from zero in 1989 to 137.7 Bkwh in 2004.
