New era as Coal Authority becomes Mining Remediation Authority

From November 28th 2024, The Coal Authority has changed its name to the Mining Remediation Authority.

This better reflects the organisation’s 24/7 role to manage the effects of historical mining in England, Scotland, and Wales and their work to seek low-carbon opportunities from our mining heritage for the future.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has approved the change.

• In terms of the mining and ground stability reports that the Coal Authority/Mining Remediation Authority offers, nothing will change in terms of risk coverage, level of information, etc. For further assurance, please read their specific FAQ section here.
