Land & Property
UK COAL owns approximately 43,300 acres (17,500 hectares) of predominantly agricultural land. Within this, around 4,500 net acres on 85 sites have been identified as offering the prospect for development into a mix of residential, business park, distribution, leisure and community developments over the medium term to long term.
Renewable Energy
UK COAL has established its own power generation business, which utilises waste gas from mines to generate electricity, and to pursue the development of wind power generation through a strategic collaboration agreement with Peel Energy. Over time, it is hoped that this collaboration will promote and maximise opportunities from this part of the business.
