Which source is used the most to generate electricity in the UK in 2009?

Try entering "electrical generation percentage by fuel types 2009" in google, there are a number of sites that may help you. Due to the "dash for gas" in electrical generation (something like 14years ago) which I am still employed in, I would have said natural gas is the most used fuel, but most gas fired power stations built are small in output compared to the existing coal fired stations ie DRAX which is something like 6 x 660MW steam turbines driving generators, my gas fired power station is 360MW (megga watts). So maybe coal is still the most used but I am not sure, but those websites may help. PS Due to the emissions regs some fossil fuel power stations (namely coal) will have to close down in the future (they opted out of the expensive modification at time and will be coming to the end of their opted out period and will close, others have spent millions of pound in de-sulphurisation of their emissions to atmosphere Happy searching.
