The first power plants were installed by Edison in the 1880's, and were powered by coal, so that's the answer
Not sure if this will answer your question, but I'll give it a shot. It's less about the fact that is is coal and more about the fact that coal gives off heat. When coal was first being used as a heat source, it was cheaper than wood and there was a lot of it. So really the origin of the energy is in the heat that the coal generates when on fire and less about the coal itself.

A1 Coal was used for fires and furnaces i hope this helps A2 It was also used for steam engines-only just beginning in 1750 but subsequently used for train locomotives, steam ships, and stationary steam engines powering all sorts of mechanical processes.
Coal began to replace the wood in the 1800s because the wood became scarce in some places. in the 1900s coal replace wood as a chief energy source because of its many used such as the fuel for steam engines which powered the many railroad engines popular during the period, and fuel for the steam turbines used in the production for electricity.
Coal was first used 1,000 to 5,000 years ago!
the coal is crushed first then the coal is passed for burning

Historical evidence indicates that coal was first used 3,000 to 4,000 years ago during the Bronze Age. in this time the people of southeastern Wales used coal for funeral pyres to burn their dead.
Steam and coal. I think!

I'm not positive, but I believe that the Mesopotamians were the first to use makeup. They used a coal type rock as eyeliner.
How did they used to coal mine
coal is used for heat
Pumps, to remove water from coal mines.
Coal liquefaction, also called mild gasification, began to emerge from the purely experimental stage in the early 1990s
