From the sun's radiation which made the plants grow that converted into coal
the energy that is released when coal was at one time sunlight energy shining on plants.
coal is fuel. it can be burned to make heat or energy. the energy is coal was once sunlight energy that plants used. Petroleum and natural gas are also fuels. most scientists think natural gas petroleum form in a way similar to coal. however, they did not begin as plants. they began as small sea organisms. so, crude oil and natural gas are called fossil fuels.
From the energy stored in light.
Coal energy comes from the sun. The coal is fossilized vegetation that grew in the sunshine eons ago. The vegetation took up the solar energy using photosynthesis and chlorophyll to produce green matter
coal is not renewable because coal is hot.

i think its from the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago.=]
It originally came from the sun and was stored in chemical bonds by plants during photosynthesis.

Coal came from rotting trees, oil came from sea life. I am not sure of the exact type, but I would expect that natural gas comes from life and all energy for life originally came from the sun. I hope that's enough of an answer.
The energy in vegetation (beans) and coal (a fossil fuel from animals eating vegetation or eating other animals feeding on vegetation) ultimately comes from the sun.
Energy is stored in every particle of matter in the universe. It just exists. It can neither be created nor destroyed.

Coal.
Originally from the sun, but then probably from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which are burned to generate electricity. If you are lucky the energy might be renewable, from solar, wind or water power (or many others).
