Longannet is a former coal-fired power station located near Kincardine, Scotland. It was commissioned in 1970 and was one of the largest power stations in the UK, generating electricity for millions of homes. The facility was known for its significant output and played a crucial role in the national grid. In 2015, Longannet ceased operations due to economic challenges and environmental regulations. The site has since been decommissioned, and plans for its redevelopment are being considered. The closure marked a shift in the UK's energy landscape, moving towards more sustainable energy sources.
