Do you know how much coal capacity we have, in total?

wiki says 7.3 GW, are any closed ones kept moth-balled for

6.5GW, with no other coal capacity in reserve.

Permanent HV disconnections and removal of connection assets totgether with
network reconfigurations have already been made at any coal plant withdrawn from
the market

From next Autumn it's currently 5.25GW of declared coal
