UK Coal Production Ltd is the largest producer of coal in the UK and a significant supplier of energy to the UK's electricity industry.

Following the privatisation of the UK coal mining industry in 1994, UK Coal acquired some of British Coal's former mines and today we operate two deep mines and several surface mines.

Our deep mines produce over 3.2m tonnes of coal per year and use some of the most advanced mining techniques employed anywhere in the world.

Our surface mines produce around 1.8m tonnes of coal per year, and our restoration techniques have won a number of awards.

In total we provide the UK with around 4% of its energy needs.
