May 20 (Reuters) - Britain's Rugeley coal power plant will close by the end of June 2016 because of worsening conditions for coal generation, operator Engie (LSE: 0LD0.L - news) said on Friday.

The 1 gigawatt plant in the West Midlands county of Staffordshire is jointly owned by French power and gas group Engie and Mitsui & Co and can provide enough electricity to power one million homes.
